Last December, the residents of Consulate Court in Thornlie once again lit up their street for the Child Cancer Research Foundation, spreading holiday cheer to the community through incredible light displays.
Thanks to the hard work of these residents and the thousands of visitors to the street, we reached an amazing fundraising total of $27,265.35! From the children who dropped their pocket money into collection tins, to the adults who used our digital donation tap points, we are so grateful for everyone who has helped support our important cause.
As our Foundation receives very limited government funding, we rely on the generous support of the local community to help us see more children live the long and fulfilling lives they deserve.
To help draw in more crowds throughout the festive season, Consulate Court also hosted a variety of events, such as a Bake Sale, Hot Rod Show, Christmas Carols, and the Main Event Night which featured a visit from Santa on a fire truck. We thank everyone who was involved in organising these wonderful events.
We also must thank all the residents who got into the Christmas spirit, our incredible volunteers who helped collect donations and of course everyone who took the time to donate to us. We are incredibly thankful to have been chosen as the charity partner for such a special initiative – the fundraising results will brighten up the lives of so many children with cancer.
