Central Coast Kids in Need raises money to assist families who have seriously ill children with prolonged illnesses. Central Coast Kids in Need raises money to assist families who have seriously ill children with prolonged illness. Most of these children are cancer patients, others with organ transplants and premature babies with life threatening illnesses. The money is used to defray the costs of

accommodation at Ronald Mcdonald House and Parent Hostel Rooms while the kids are receiving their treatment. The funds are also used to cover travel costs, equipment requirements and pharmacy accounts for these Kids in Need. What a great charity and isn’t it great to get behind such a group. Some $467,000 was distributed to 345 families in 2019/20 while $133,000 has already been distributed to 204 families in 2020/21. We would again like to thank all of our supporters for donating raffle prizes for our Central Coast Kids in Need Charity Day. You are a great group of people who continue to assist those in need and we thank you for your ongoing support.
