Meet Jake.

Thanks to our partnership with the Port Adelaide Football Club, and the generosity of Port Adelaide skipper and CCA Ambassador Travis Boak, this young cancer patient was the Power’s Captain for the Day on Saturday, 17 June.

As well as meeting his new teammates at Port’s final captain’s run on the Friday, Jake was involved in the team run out and coin toss ahead of the game on Saturday.

This amazing opportunity has created memories that will last a lifetime.

Fans also supported the Childhood Cancer Association by purchasing Elliot, our CCA mascot, who came with his own PAFC hoodie. Collectively we raised $5,700 which will provide 150 nights of accommodation for country children undergoing cancer treatment.  With a waitlist of PAFC hoodies on order, we've even enrolled the help of an additional 40 volunteer knitters to meet demand.

Did you know that the Childhood Cancer Association provides 30 services to more than 400 families each year?

It’s thanks only to generous people like you that the Blenkinsop’s, who featured in this year’s tax appeal, received vital support when their six-year-old daughter, Imogen, was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour in 2013.

The cost to provide these services each year is high. That’s why we set ourselves a huge target to raise $54,000 through this year’s appeal. And we’re pleased to report that along with a gift-match pledge of $10,000 from Luke and Dallin Howes of Proviso, you made it possible to reach that target!

Despite a relapse in 2014, Imogen is now cancer-free. And thanks to you, the Childhood Cancer Association are still there to support Imogen’s family when they need it. Imogen’s older brother, Micah, has attended several SIBS (Super Important Brothers and Sisters) group programmes and the family continue to enjoy some well-deserved respite at Bradley’s Place when they need a break.

The cancer journey is a long one and it doesn’t end when treatment ends. It’s a part of a family’s life forever. So, thank you for supporting children and their families during their cancer journey and beyond.

You truly are making a difference.

It's not too late to give. Donate now.

Heartfelt thanks to the Rotary Club of Victor Harbor and membership for their outstanding work at Bradley's Place.

We are so very grateful to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to clear and tidy up the property and renovate the respite accommodation making it much more enjoyable for the families that stay.

Bradley's Place was named after Bradley Walker, who sadly lost his battle with cancer at age 4.

Located at Inman Valley, Bradley's Place is a peaceful haven away from some of the stresses and demands that comes with this life changing illness.

Families who have a child with cancer, and families who have lost a child to cancer are eligible to stay at Bradley's Place throughout the year.

Unite 4 Kids was an afternoon to remember at the Hilton Adelaide which included an amazing line-up of guests and exclusive performances by the stars of Matilda The Musical.

Hosted by Mark Soderstrom, guests heard from Australian paralympic gold medallist Katrina Webb OAM and were also entertained by singing sensations Kirby Burgess and Ben Mingay.

However, young Holly Mead stole the show as she told her cancer journey and introduced the friends she met in hospital - Elliot from The Childhood Cancer Association; the Clown Doctors; and the puppets from Camp Quality.

A golden ticket raffle and big ticket auction items, sold by Toop & Toop Real Estate, meant some serious funds were raised on the day - with more than $160,000 going to the three children's charities.

Special thanks go to The Advertiser Foundation and Holidays of Australia and the World and all the event sponsors.
