CHARITY

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 half of all proceeds from the "Complete Package Program" to the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation.

Donations are made on a monthly basis.
