The Good Friday Appeal in Victoria has brought together communities in a display of generosity and support for the Royal Children's Hospital. Tedi Rudd, a four-year-old mini ambassador from the Greater Geelong region, captured hearts as the first-ever mini ambassador. The Allan government's donation of $1 million on behalf of Victorian taxpayers underscores the unity in giving back to those in need. Beyond religious significance, Good Friday has become an occasion to rally for crucial funds that benefit children's health.

The spirit of giving extends across regions like Bass Coast, South Victoria, and GRV's successful fundraising efforts for the Royal Children's Hospital. The GRV's Good Friday Appeal has surpassed its $50,000 target, showcasing the power of collective support. 3AW, in conjunction with the Good Friday Appeal, continues its mission to raise vital funds for the hospital's lifesaving work.

As donations pour in, it's remarkable to note the annual contributions from local CFA brigades, totaling over $37 million since 1951. The Victorian greyhound racing industry, surpassing its $50,000 goal, highlights the diverse efforts driving the success of the Good Friday Appeal. Each dollar raised truly makes a difference in the lives of young patients at the Royal Children's Hospital.

In 2024, the Allan Labor Government's pledge of another $1 million reinforces the commitment to supporting the hospital's life-changing work. The legacy of community-driven fundraising initiatives like the Good Friday Appeal continues to inspire hope and compassion in Victorians, ensuring ongoing support for children's healthcare.
