Celebrating 161 beneficiaries making a difference in 2025

We’re proud to announce that 161 children’s charities and organisations will receive crucial funding in 2025!

This milestone is only possible thanks to the generosity of Western Australians who came together to raise a record-breaking $83.3 million last year.

These funds will support life-changing programs, essential services, groundbreaking research and vital medical equipment, helping to create a brighter future for sick, vulnerable, and disadvantaged children across our State.

Thank you for making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for the next generation.
