Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick NSW
$9 million since 1998
Kids with Cancer Foundation Australia has become the largest donor to Sydney Children’s Hospital, not just the Kids Cancer Centre, the whole hospital.
Hospital Funding Highlights
Here are some highlights of our work together with Sydney Children’s Children’s Hospital Randwick, NSW
“So far the Foundation has made special things, which in the past we only dreamed of possible With the limited funds available from the government for the provision of clinical services, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide what we believe is quality care for children and their families affected by childhood cancer. The three donations made by the Foundation have made a vital contribution to our efforts to provide high quality care to our patients”. Glen Marshall
“On behalf of the patients, families & staff at Sydney Children’s Hospital we thank you for your most recent donation. Your ongoing support for the Oncology Social Work Service is an extraordinary gift enabling us to offer the best possible care to children with cancer & their families”. Kate Garrard, Sponsorship Manager Nov. 2009
“The Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, has some very brave children fighting serious illnesses they can often find hard to accept and, even harder to understand. Your support ensures the future success of our vital medical programmes and services, so our children can be cared for and treated by the most up-to-date methods available.
Thank you once again for your generosity. Your concern and support for our children and their families is greatly appreciated” Adam Check, Chief Executive Officer, Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation 2010.

Kids with Cancer Foundation’s continual funding since 1999 of Sydney Children’s research positions assisted Associate Professor Richard Cohn when in 2001 he founded the Behavioural Sciences Unit, recognising that until a cure for all childhood cancers has been found, it is our mandate to improve hospital initiatives to better support patients and their families from diagnosis to survivorship and bereavement. He has championed the importance of research studies which cover all psycho-social and behavioural aspects of paediatric cancer and worked to translate these research findings into clinical practice within the hospital.

Cheque presentation: Gold Week Telethon donation: $30,000 to offset families drug costs.
Many of our children come to the Hospital with very rare forms of cancer, and of these there are a few for whom outcomes may not always be positive. With many of the drugs that can provide the care and treatment for these rare forms of cancer not covered by the PBS, CCC&BD has required over $100,000 worth of extra drug costs alone this year. These drugs are essential to the care for our children, many of whom would not survive without them, and when combined with treatments such as a Bone Marrow Transplant, these drugs provide the best outcomes for our most vulnerable
children. With your continued support, CCC&BD will continue to meet its goals of providing the best possible care for our brave young oncology patients and their family both now, and for the future.
Your support for these essential drugs has quite simply saved the lives of children who would not be alive today without these drugs, so thank you. Louise Claridge, Sponsorship Manager July 2010.
