DECJUBA FOUNDATION

The DECJUBA Foundation is proudly supporting the Good Friday Appeal over 5 years, helping to fund the Melbourne Children’s Campus Mental Health Strategy. The GFA was thrilled to receive a donation of $200,000 in 2023, Decjuba Foundation’s second year of support. This has been made possible thanks to DECJUBA customers and staff around the country getting behind the work being done by the DECJUBA Foundation.

Hunky Dory

For ten years, the team at Hunky Dory has been fundraising in stores and donating proceeds to the Good Friday Appeal. For two weeks prior to Good Friday, Hunky Dory donated $1 from every potato cake ordered during the campaign to the Good Friday Appeal. This tasty fundraiser along with other in store activities raised an amazing $25,139.

Thank you to Mazda for supporting the GFA raffle for over 10 years and for this year’s first prize of a BT-50, and thank you also to Majestic Caravans who have now donated over $1 million in caravans.

Costco

Costco has been raising funds since 2010 through its 4 Melbourne warehouses and this year the team from the Ringwood and Moorabbin warehouse were proud to present a donation of over $30,000 to continue this generous tradition.

Bambi Mini

Melbourne Mum Nicole Verrocchi and her husband Matt have been big supporters of the Good Friday Appeal in previous years, and this year Nicole collaborated with Brisbane artist Brook Gossen to launch two sets of exclusively designed socks for her baby wear brand, Bambi Mini Co. The gorgeous socks were sold through Chemist Warehouse with all proceeds donated to the GFA. Matt and Nicole’s son Raffi has been cared for by the RCH after he was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in 2020, and Raffi was involved in creating the sock range, as some of his favourite things were used in the design. This incredible initiative raised over $136,000!
