Giving the kids a helping hand

Over the past 3 years, Chain Reaction has raised over 1.9 million for children’s health. In 2010, The Starlight Children’s Foundation has once again been chosen as our main charity recipient. The Alannah and Madeline Foundation has also been selected as our recipient.

 

Starlight Children's Foundation Australia

Since 1988 Starlight has been brightening the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Through a range of innovative programs, Starlight aims to restore some of the fun, laughter and joy that serious illness takes away.

Starlight currently reaches one in three of the 600,000 children hospitalised annually in Australia – we’d like to help them reach "three out of three"

Starlight programs include:

  • Starlight Express Rooms
  • Starlight Fun Centres
  • Starlight Wish Granting
  • Starlight Express Vans
  • Starlight Escapes
  • Starlight "On Demand"

Alannah and Madeline Foundation

The Alannah and Madeline Foundation is a national charity protecting children from violence and its devastating impact.

The Foundation was set up in memory of Alannah and Madeline Mikac, aged 6 and 3, who were tragically killed with their mother and 32 others at Port Arthur, Tasmania on 28 April 1996.

The Foundation cares for children who experience or witness serious violence throught the Intensive Support Program, Buddy Bags Program and Refuge Therapeutic Support Program. 
Develops programs which help prevent violence in the lives of children including the Better Buddies Framework and CyberSafety and Wellbeing Initiative.

The Foundation plays an advocacy role and are a vioce against childhood violence.

Our vision is that every child will live in a safe and supportive environment.

We thank everyone involved in the 2010 Chain Reaction Challenge for helping us work towards our goal!
