Hoffmans Road Good Friday Giveback

Good Friday Appeal 2026

Hoffmans Road Giving Back This Good Friday

Every year the Good Friday Appeal reminds us just how many families rely on the Royal Children’s Hospital during the hardest moments of their lives. Behind every donation is a child who needs care, a family hoping for answers, and doctors and nurses doing everything they can to help.

This year we wanted to do something small as a community to help make a difference.

Local businesses along Hoffmans Road and surrounding areas have come together to donate vouchers, products and prizes so we can run a community raffle, with every dollar donated through this page going directly to the Good Friday Appeal.

When you donate, you’ll automatically be entered into the raffle draw:

$5 = 1 entry

$10 = 3 entries

$20 = 8 entries

$50 = 20 entries

On Good Friday we’ll draw three prizes, including a major prize made up of generous vouchers and gifts from local businesses, along with two additional prize packs.

We’ll also be hosting a small community event at Mister Hoffman Cafe on Good Friday with face painting, Easter bunnies and a few activities for families, with all proceeds from the day also going directly to the appeal.

While the raffle prizes are a fun way to get the community involved, the real reason behind this fundraiser is much bigger. The Royal Children’s Hospital supports thousands of children and families every year, many of whom are facing the most difficult time of their lives.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount can make a real difference. Together as a community, we’re hoping to raise as much as we can to support the children and families who need it most.

The Good Friday Appeal has been raising funds for sick kids and their families at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) for 95 years.

Through the generosity of the community, the RCH continues to deliver world‑class, comprehensive care.

Every dollar donated supports:

  • Ground‑breaking research
  • State‑of‑the‑art equipment
  • Training and unique patient‑centred care programs

In just one year (2024–2025), hundreds of thousands of kids were cared for:

  • 85,415 appointments for urgent and essential care in the Emergency Department
  • 53,450 admissions to a ward, where children and young people received expert, compassionate care
  • 15,106 surgeries, paving the way for brighter futures
  • An incredible 456,000 outpatients seen — that’s an average of 1,250 appointments a day

By supporting this fundraiser, you are part of the impact, helping children live their best possible lives.

Please help make a difference and share this page with your friends, families, and networks.

Thank you for giving for the kids.

with heart
