Unite4Kids Raises Funds for Seriously Ill Children

An incredible $289,516 has been raised through the 9th Unite4Kids Gala Luncheon, with funds to be shared between the Childhood Cancer Association, Starlight Children's Foundation and the Clown Doctors.

Held at Adelaide Oval on Wednesday 3^rd June 2026, the event brought together hundreds of passionate supporters, sponsors, donors and community leaders, all united by a common goal – helping seriously ill children and their families through some of life's toughest challenges.

The outstanding result was achieved through the generosity of guests who attended the sold-out luncheon, participated in fundraising activities and bid generously in the live and silent auctions.

As one of the beneficiary charities, we're deeply grateful to everyone who played a role in making the day such a success.

Childhood Cancer Association Chief Executive, Cath O'Loughlin, said the generosity shown by the South Australian community would have a lasting impact on families facing childhood cancer.

"Every day, we see the challenges families face following a childhood cancer diagnosis. The funds raised through Unite4Kids will help ensure children and families can access the practical and emotional support they need when they need it most."

"We are incredibly grateful to the Unite4Kids organisers, sponsors, volunteers and every person who attended and contributed on the day. Together, you are helping ease the burden for families during one of the most difficult times in their lives."

Funds raised will help ensure families facing childhood cancer have access to the practical, emotional and financial support they need from the moment of diagnosis and throughout treatment and beyond.

The funds will help the Childhood Cancer Association continue delivering critical services including professional counselling, relocation accommodation for regional families, and educational support.

Events like Unite4Kids demonstrate the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when a community comes together to support children and families in need.
