Victorians have generously donated to the Good Friday Appeal this year, helping CFA raise a remarkable $1,819,800 for The Royal Children’s Hospital.
CFA volunteers were seen in trucks and at traffic lights across the state yesterday, raising money in their local communities for The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Good Friday Appeal.
CFA has been a major fundraiser of the Good Friday Appeal for the past 73 years, having now raised almost $39 million for The RCH since 1951.
The overall total for the Good Friday Appeal in 2024 was $23,368,724 – a record-breaking final tally.
Last night, CFA Group General Manager Kylee Bates presented the CFA cheque to The Royal Children’s Hospital alongside Caroline Springs Captain Anthony Jenkins and members Sammie Lowe and Lauchlan Wright.
CFA Chief Fire Officer Jason Heffernan wants to congratulate and thank all participating brigades across Victoria for the amazing contribution they’ve all made to this year’s Good Friday Appeal.
“Our members give up their time to serve their communities in times of need and it’s no surprise that their selflessness extends to worthy causes such as supporting The Royal Children’s Hospital,” Jason said.
“All members and their communities should be so proud of what they’ve achieved for this year’s Appeal, and we thank you for your time and generosity to help save the lives of our future.”
The money raised for The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal will be used to ensure kids are provided with the best possible treatment and care.
