PARMA FOR THE KIDS 2026

Tuesday 3rd Mar

Every Parma Counts: Nikakis Hospitality’s Annual Tradition Returns in 2026.

Three venues. One powerful cause. Supporting the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

For more than three decades, this family-led initiative has helped raise over $700,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. What started as a simple idea — enjoy a meal and give back, has grown into a powerful annual community event.

100% of the proceeds from the day will be donated to the Royal Children’s Good Friday appeal. Aiding in the purchase of vital medical equipment and funding research initiatives.

On Thursday 2nd April 2026, the tradition continues across Rosstown Hotel, Racecourse Hotel and Trinity St Kilda, bringing communities together to share a meal and make a meaningful difference.

How to get involved:

Rosstown Hotel & Racecourse Hotel

From 12pm – 9pm, every parma sold contributes to this life-changing cause.

Trinity St Kilda

Hosting its Burger for the Kids campaign from 2.30pm – 9pm, offering another way to support the appeal.

This event is about more than what’s on the plate — it’s about community, generosity, and standing behind families who need it most.

Parma for the Kids has become a valued annual tradition, uniting staff, locals and supporters across all three venues.

In 2026, Nikakis Hospitality proudly continues this legacy with the goal of raising even more for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
