A telethon on December 3 really ‘dialled up’ the launch of the Sunny Xmas for Kids.
The campaign reached the day’s target of $50,000, thanks to the generous support of the local business community.
The SunnyKids initiative aims to secure 83 annual child sponsorships at $600 each, providing vulnerable children with stability, counselling and practical support. Real estate company Town sponsored 10 children ahead of the launch.
SunnyKids CEO Kathleen Hope says the program helps children escape trauma, rebuild their lives and access essential services: “Too many children on the Sunshine Coast are experiencing trauma that no child should ever have to face”.
The fundraising campaign will run until Christmas and Ms Hope encourages local businesses to sponsor a child.
