On May 5, Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) will launch its annual Sydney Sick Kids Appeal (SSKA). Our ambitious target for the six-week period will help us change the future for sick kids by continuing to support Sydney’s two children’s hospitals and paediatric services across NSW and beyond. 

This year, we are thrilled to be partnering with Destination NSW as the official charity partner for Vivid, which launches on May 23. This exciting partnership will see SCHF have an immersive light activation as part of the festival. While visitors at Vivid can get involved with the activation, so can kids in hospital as they can watch their dreams come to life in colour and light. 

Mark your calendars for Sydney Sick Kids Day on Thursday 5 June where we remember as a community that every child in hospital is a childhood on hold. Funds raised on this special day will help sick kids get home sooner so they continue to live the life a child should live.
