Good Friday Appeal 2025

Give for the Kids! Join Pakenham Auto Club for the Good Friday Appeal!

Can we count on you to help us make a difference for sick kids?

This year, Pakenham Auto Club is going all in to raise funds for the Good Friday Appeal! Our mission is to support The Royal Children’s Hospital, ensuring they continue to provide world-class care to seriously ill children and their families.

Our goal is simple: raise as much as we can to give these kids a brighter future. Every dollar you donate will go towards life-saving equipment, cutting-edge research, staff training, and patient care.

The impact is real: In the past year, 90,260 patients visited the Emergency Department, 50,345 children were admitted, and over 400,000 attended outpatient appointments. These numbers represent real kids, real families, and the urgent need for support.

Join Us at the Good Friday Khanacross Passenger Charity Event!

On April 18, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, come experience the thrill of a Khanacross dirt-track ride at the Pakenham Auto Club. For just $10 per ride, attendees aged 12 and over can hop into the passenger seat alongside an experienced driver. All proceeds from the rides will be donated directly to the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal, so each lap you take makes a difference for sick kids.

There will also be a variety of attractions, including raffles, a motorsport vehicle display, an SES interactive display, and delicious food at the BBQ and market stalls.

Let’s make a difference for sick kids and their families. Every bit counts, so please donate today and help us reach our target!

Feel free to share this message with your friends, family, and networks – the more we share, the greater the impact we can have!

Thank you for your generosity. It truly means the world!
