Childhood cancer is a devastating disease that affects around 1,000 children in Australia every year. The toll it takes on children and their loved ones is immeasurable.
This year, we are feeling exceptionally generous and are determined to make a significant impact on the lives of children fighting cancer. That’s why we have decided to expand the traditional Giving Day to a full Giving Week!
From Monday 22 May to Friday 26 May, every donation made will be matched, up to a total of $100,000, thanks to the generosity of our matched-giving partners, the Tate Family Foundation, Stan Perron Charitable Foundation, and John Hughan.
By contributing to our foundation during this time, your donation will have double the impact, bringing us closer to a cancer-free future for children.
Let’s Beat Child Cancer, Together.
We are thrilled to announce that our foundation is once again a beneficiary at this year’s Perth Tradie Expo, sponsored by Toolmart and taking place from 16 to 18 June. Now we just need YOUR help! We are looking for volunteers to help us collect gold coin donations at the entry gate, which will go towards supporting the vital research into childhood cancers.
The Perth Tradie Expo offers a second-to-none chance to purchase all types of work equipment from power tools to excavators at special Expo prices. This year is especially exciting with Recruit WA joining the event to showcase a broad range of businesses and recruitment organisations. It will be the biggest recruitment drive seen in WA!
Last year, our incredible volunteers helped us collect over $5,000 for childhood cancer research and we can’t wait to see what we can do this year. Volunteers can choose a shift that suits them best and can volunteer as little or as much as they like.
With the event taking place over three days from 8am to 5pm, there are plenty of shifts for us to fill. If you are interested, simply send an email to [email protected] or call our office at (08) 9363 7400 for more information.
On 16 April, four adventurous CCRF supporters set off on an epic journey to conquer the iconic 5 Dams Cycling Challenge. Matt, David, AJ and Jim rode over 200km in the day with no less than 2672m of hard climbing!
The 5 Dams Cycling Challenge is known as Perth’s most challenging and rewarding event for serious cyclists throughout Australia. It requires solid preparation with incredibly testing climbs.
The four keen cyclists saw this feat as a great opportunity to raise awareness and funds for the vital research into childhood cancers. We are pleased to report that the group raised $1570 for our Foundation.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Matt, David, AJ, and Jim for their incredible dedication in support of our cause. The funds they raised will go directly towards helping more children live the long and fulfilling lives they deserve.
