Hospital Christmas Parties 2015
During December we hosted two hospital Christmas parties – one at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, and the other at Monash Children’s Hospital. We also supplied gifts for other hospitals to give to the children in their wards. This came to a total of:
- 254 presents for sick kids in hospitals, including Peter MacCallum, Monash, Box Hill, Dandenong, Frankston and Casey
- 95 presents for their siblings!
Across the two parties we had a lot of yummy food, beautiful decorations courtesy of Kmart, a host of incredible entertainers including Susie Sparkle, Kikkii the Clown, Magic Tony, and fantastic singers performing Christmas Carols. The performers engaged beautifully with the kids, bringing them the gift of smiles and laughter, which was especially amazing for the parents and healthcare professionals to see!
But the most special guest of all, of course, was Santa himself, who happened to bear a striking resemblance to our CEO & Founder Tim Conolan! Santa had gifts for all the kids and their siblings, and walked around the wards visiting children who couldn’t make it to the Christmas Party.
We’re honoured to have been able to bring the joy of the holiday season to these kids and families in hospital.
Note: due to time and approval constraints, we haven't been able to upload each and
every photo, but parents of children can access photos via
