BE THE SPARK – Brighten Tomorrow Through a Gift in your Will

From 2 – 8 September, charities across Australia will be celebrating Include a Charity Week. A nationwide, annual social change movement that highlights the significance of including a charitable gift in your Will.

Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) is proud to once again be participating in Include a Charity Week. This year’s theme, Be the spark – brighten tomorrow through a gift in your Will, encourages people to make a Will and create a legacy by including a gift to a charity that is important to them.

At SCHF, we are honoured to play a pivotal role in this movement, witnessing firsthand the profound impact that legacies, from individuals, can have on the lives of sick children. Every day, children face daunting health challenges, from manageable conditions to rare and complex diseases.

When little Coen was just one year old, he was diagnosed with Gabriele-de-Vries syndrome, leading to developmental delays, intellectual hurdles, and a myriad of other challenges that significantly impact his life and that of his family.

To continue providing exceptional care to children like Coen, gifts in Will are a future lifeline. Gifts in Wills can fund groundbreaking research, advancing medical treatments, purchase cutting edge equipment and training for medical staff.

“Leaving a gift in a Will to Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation is an act of kindness. Leaving a gift in your Will, even as small as 5 percent, can create a legacy that improves the lives of children, long after you are gone”. Said Anne McFadden, Director of Planned Giving, SCHF.
