Striking a pose at the Telethon Family Festival

Across the two-day event, thousands tuned in, donated, and took part in activities and entertainment – with volunteers, businesses and local heroes all contributing to the cause. the weekend showcased inspiring stories of resilience and hope, reminding everyone of the power of collective kindness in making a real difference to children’s lives.

The amazing total of just over $90,000,000 raised is proof that as a state, when we come together we can make a huge difference that really matters.

We were so pleased to be a part of the Telethon Family Festival once again this year. The excitement of kids and families was evident with wide smiles and giggles throughout the day.

It was such a fun day at the Foodbank marquee, we had a digital photobooth operating all day where our awesome Superhero food characters added extra fun to the photos as stickers kids could choose. We also had a temporary tattoo station which was a huge hit with the kiddies.  

Approximately 80,000 people came along to the Telethon Family Festival, and we were one of over 100 Telethon beneficiaries who participated. It was an absolute brilliant showcase of the breath and depth of Telethon’s reach and the incredible service provided to our most vulnerable of children.

Seeing the incredible generosity of people in this state is testament to the unwavering spirit of the WA community, and how when we work together, we are incredible. 

Being just a small part of the Telethon weekend is an amazing opportunity for all involved and certainly made us proud to call WA home.
