Illuminate Sundowner

The Illuminate Sundowner is an opportunity get an impact update from some of our trailblazing researchers, after receiving an Illuminate Award at our inaugural 2023 PitchFest event.

Supported by people with a shared vision of happy, healthy kids, the Illuminate Awards are fast becoming a wonderful way of supporting our early to mid-career researchers and getting to know more about the child health research at Telethon Kids.

We invite you to hear from our 2023 PitchFest recipients on the rooftop of the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA). Over a drink, canapes, and conversation with our researchers, this is an opportunity to get to know the research, learn more about the impact your gift is making and meet some of our other Illuminate donors.

And for those art lovers, AGWA has kindly offered to host an exclusive tour of exhibition ‘The Antipodean Manifesto‘ led by Curator Emma Bitmead,  ahead of formalities. Don’t miss out – secure your ticket now!

You are welcome to bring a friend and enjoy the evening together.
