Phil's Beard Shave

Good Friday Appeal 2025

Help me reach my goal of $10,000

I am shaving my beard to raise funds for the Good Friday Appeal

Well, after some friendly banter with some patrons of the Maffra Community Sports Club, who would have guessed I would be here prepared to shave my beard off which I have had  for nearly 50 years.

The challenge was not hard to refuse, knowing the proceeds will be going to the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal. I have fundraised for the appeal for well over 30 years with my association with the Maffra Fire Brigade.

Good Friday - 18th April - 5.30pm at the Maffra Community Sports Club - the beard will be coming off. Come down, enjoy a beer and a few laughs as we raise some money for the kids.

We have set a goal of $10,000 which I hope will get smashed. 

I am asking local businesses and residents of Maffra and the surrounding area to come onboard and support me by donating to this wonderful cause.

My wife Robyn, kids and grand kids have never seen me without my beard, nor have most of the local residents. So please dig deep, make a donation and support my fundraising event.

I‘ve created this page because I want to make a difference to the lives of sick kids.

The Good Friday Appeal relies on the support of the community to raise funds to ensure that The Royal Children's Hospital is able to continue to provide world class care to patients and their families. From 2022 to 2023 at The Royal Children's Hospital: 90,260 patients presented to the Emergency Department, 50,345 children and young people were admitted to a ward, 407,563 children and young people attended an outpatient appointment, and 14,963 patients underwent surgery. So please help by giving whatever you are able to this fundraiser and help spread the word by sharing this page with your friends, family and networks. Thank you for your generosity, it means a lot!

with heart
