Fundraising Events and Campaigns
Current Events and Campaigns
Great Expectations for Life is a new awareness and fundraising campaign for preterm birth.
Apart from the emotional impact on a family affected by preterm birth, there is also a financial impact on society. Neonatal intensive care can cost $3,000 per day. Severely preterm babies can attract medical care costs of up to $200,000 before discharge.
If we can understand why preterm birth happens, reduce the risk of preterm birth and improve the survival and care of babies when they are born preterm, we can help ease these emotional and financial impacts.

Peter Couche Foundation Wine Dinner, Thursday 1st November 2012
Thanks to the amazing generosity of our in-kind supporters, donors and attendees we raised over $40,000 to go towards the Stem Cell for Stroke Research Program at the Robinson Institute.
The event was attended by 170 people and aimed to raise funds and awareness of the devestating effect stroke can have on not only the sufferer but the family as well.
Thank you to all who contributed to the success of the evening.
Don't Speak: Silence for Stroke, Friday 14th September 2012
In its second year the 'Don't Speak: Silence for Stroke' campaign raised over $30,000 to go towards the Stem Cell for Stroke Research Program at the Robinson Institute.
Participants involved were silent for one hour on Friday the 14th of September.
Many sufferers of stroke lose the ability to speak. Don't Speak aimed to raise funds and awareness of the devestating effects of stroke.
