SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY
Childhood is a precious time that should be filled with laughter, play and joyful memories. Unfortunately, for thousands of children in Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (SCHN), illness has put their childhood on hold.
​
We donate all proceeds from the "Complete Package Program" to the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation.
​
Donations are made on a monthly basis.
