We were delighted with the result of the auction! Your expertise in encouraging a more dollars for each item ensured that maximum price was paid for many of the items on sale.

In particular, the Auction was a resounding success and all the monies raised on the night (in excess of $100,000) will be directly used for the Microsurgery Foundation’s research.

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.
