Keep the Flame Alive Quiz Night Raises over $40,000 for Child Cancer Research
The Child Cancer Research Foundation’s annual Keep the Flame Alive Quiz Night exceeded all expectations on Saturday 22 July 2023, raising a remarkable $42,381.05 for childhood cancer research.
The event, made possible by the unwavering dedication of our incredible volunteers and generous supporters, brought together an enthusiastic crowd to Ascot Racecourse, all eager to make a difference in the lives of children battling a cancer diagnosis.
A heartfelt appreciation goes out to our volunteers who selflessly dedicated their time and efforts to make the Quiz Night a resounding success. Their hard work and passion behind the scenes truly made a difference in raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research.
This year, our commitment to sustainability and environmental friendliness shone brightly. We made the conscious decision to avoid the use of plastic wrapping for our hampers and opted for a digital silent auction to minimise paper consumption.
Our online silent auction was an exciting new twist for our Quiz Night, offering our supporters the chance to bid on items before the event, whether they were attending on the night or not. Facilitating our online silent auction was the Helping Hand Group who also sourced some of the exciting auction items that were on offer, including a guitar signed by Ed Sheeran and a football boot signed by Cristiano Ronaldo.
We were once again in awe of the amount of incredible Australian businesses who kindly donated products for us to use as auction items and prizes on the night. We would not have been able to reach such an incredible result without their generosity. A big thank you to everyone who donated.
Finally, we thank every single person who came to the Quiz Night and generously contributed to our cause. The funds raised will provide hope to families facing childhood cancer and empower researchers to make ground-breaking discoveries for future generations.
As we celebrate this remarkable achievement, let us continue to keep the flame alive and support initiatives that aim to eradicate childhood cancer once and for all.
