The Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation was lucky to be chosen by the Canberra Raiders’ match day sponsor Defence Housing Australia as the charity of choice for their ANZAC round against the Cronulla Sharks.

As the charity of choice, Kookaburra Kids received 50 percent of money raised from their 50-50 raffle, as well as proceeds from the team’s player cut jersey auction. Additionally, our Kookaburra Kids had the opportunity to actively participate in the day’s events, including joining the Raider’s guard of honour, and having their merchandise signed by the team at Autograph Alley.

Thank you to the Canberra Raiders and Defence Housing Australia for supporting us in our work to empower young people to thrive beyond the impacts of family mental illness.
