Good Friday Appeal 2026

🌟 KIDS HELPING KIDS: THE GLAD MOVEMENT GOOD FRIDAY APPEAL 🌟

At Glad Movement, we believe movement is magic—but for many children, the biggest obstacles aren’t on a Ninja course; they are in a hospital bed.

We are so proud to launch our first major fundraiser of the year: Kids Helping Kids. This event is deeply personal to our community, as many of our own families have been supported by the world-class care at the Royal Children’s Hospital. Now, it’s our turn to give back!

Our Mission: $5,000 for the Good Friday Appeal After raising an incredible $3,500 last year, we’ve set our sights even higher. Every dollar donated here goes directly to the RCH to fund life-saving research, state-of-the-art equipment, and patient-centered care.

The Competition: Team vs. Team! Our athletes aren’t just competing for themselves—they are working in teams to see who can raise the most "points" (funds) for the kids.

  • Monetary Donations: Every dollar donated to a team goes straight to their tally!

  • Auction & Raffle: Local businesses have stepped up with incredible prizes.

  • Sausage Sizzle: Even the bread and sausages help us reach our goal!

How to Donate: When making a donation, please help us track our teams by writing the Team Number and the Athlete’s First Name + Last Initial in the comments! (Example: "Go Team 4! Sarah B")

Let’s show these brave kids that their community is standing right behind them. Thank you for your generosity, your heart, and for being part of the Glad Movement.

Together, let's do something GOOD for the kids! 💙

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
