Family Fun Day 2016

Family Fun Day 2016 was our biggest and best family event ever!

We were super excited to work with 3AW and the Victorian Racing Club to put on a magical mini carnival for the sick kids and families we work with. Supporters came from far and wide to make the day happen, from dozens of volunteers, through to a host of online donors, to major sponsors, to delicious food vendors, to marvellous entertainers and activity hosts. A big thank you to all those who helped out!

In true Melbourne fashion, the weather was a bit drizzly at first, but the skies soon cleared and allowed the sun to shine down on our colourful stretch of Flemington Racecourse. Kids and families enjoyed bouncy castles, giant slides, a chair-o-plane, face-painting, live music performances, arts and crafts, nail wraps, seedling planting, dog painting, gingerbread decorating, balloon animals, outdoor games roving entertainers, magicians, sausages, paella, Tasty Taters, milkshakes, coffee, gelati and icecream.

Santa was the man of the hour, greeting kids and families and braving the giant slide before handing out presents for all the kids and their siblings!

To all the families who came along on the day, and to those who weren’t able to attend, we wish you all a very happy holiday season. We have loved hearing your feedback…

We can’t wait for next year’s event!
