Over the past 35 years, Sheen Panel Service has raised more than $5.3 million in charitable funds, supporting kids and youth in less fortunate circumstances than they ever expected.
Last year, the Sheen Community Fund (SCF) raised over $320,000 thanks to your generosity. These contributions were able to assist Variety – the Children’s Charity in various initiatives, including the funding of two Sunshine Coaches for Victorian schools.
Additionally, in 2023 the Sheen Community Fund was able to support the Friend in Me Charity as major sponsors of the Friend in Me – Family Fun Day 2023 and Masquerade Charity Gala - both events promoting acceptance for at-risk disadvantaged children.
This year, your help is needed to achieve the 2024 goal of $350,000.
The 2024 program is detailed below:
Sheen Community Fund Golf Day – The inaugural Sheen Community Fund Golf Day was held in February 2024. The fundraising on the day has provided a Specialised Assistance Dog for a 11-year-old boy who will now be able to live a life outside of his bedroom.
Royal Children’s Hospital – Good Friday Appeal – A $35,000 donation commitment has been made to help fund a new ultrasound machine to support the insertion of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) at The Royal Children’s Hospital. PIVCs are used to deliver lifesaving medications and fluids to patients whose fragile bodies need delicate handling.
Variety – the Children’s Charity – Help kids be kids with a wide range of support offered to sick and disadvantaged children. Sheen Community Fund will continue supporting Variety’s great initiatives by further funding the inaugural Variety Bash, as ‘Lifetime Supporters’ we contribute to promote and raise awareness for this fundraising event. The 2024 AFL Grand Final Lunch returns this year, and Sheen are confirmed as the Naming Right Sponsors which has been made possible through the support of our donors. Funds will also be dedicated to the annual Variety Kids’ Xmas Party, an open-door event welcoming kids across Victoria to an inclusive day of fun.
This year, Sheen Community Fund will be hosting two ‘Bike for Kids’ Programs on behalf of Variety - the Children’s Charity, which will support the funding and building of new bikes for kids in need.
As a Charitable Fund Account with Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation, 10 per cent of Sheen Community Fund's charitable distributions also supports the Foundation's Inclusive, Sustainable Economy & Jobs and Healthy & Climate Resilient Communities Impact Areas that create lasting change across Greater Melbourne.
As always, your generous donation is vital to the success of this goal - anything you can contribute to the Sheen Community Fund would be greatly appreciated.
