” Without your support we would not have been able to stage this event on August 4 and raise the money we did, in excess of $450,000!

On behalf of the Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation I do want to thankyou for your considerable efforts at the dinner last, Friday night. As you certainly would realise the auction was an extraordinary success and this was largely due to your efforts

VSK Footy Fever Debate
Friday, 11 August 2023
The atmosphere was electric as our two teams passionately tackled the provocative topic: “AFL rule changes have improved the game.” At the outset, not a single hand was raised in support of this statement, but thanks to the persuasive skills of our panellists, the audience’s views were transformed! Congratulations to Matthew Richardson and Matt Granland for their outstanding debating prowess, and a special thanks to Rohan Connolly and Shane McInnes for their spirited opposition.
In addition to witnessing a thrilling debate, our generous audience helped us raise over $190,000, allowing us to continue providing top-quality care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, as well as vital support for their families across Victoria.
We were delighted to receive pledges for 37 nights of respite care, ensuring that seriously ill children can receive round-the-clock care at Victoria’s only children’s hospice, Very Special Kids House.
