Good Friday Appeal 2025 Victoria’s Generosity Shines Once Again
The appeal reached deep into Victoria’s regional towns, with substantial contributions coming from Ballarat, Geelong, Bendigo, and Wangaratta. These efforts emphasized the statewide commitment to pediatric care, with local events such as barbecues, fun runs, auctions, and school fundraisers playing a key role in the day’s success. These funds are critical for providing advanced medical equipment, funding research, and enhancing patient care services at the Royal Children’s Hospital, including support for regional families who rely on Melbourne-based treatment.
Since its inception, the Good Friday Appeal has raised more than $468 million, and each year continues to build on that legacy. The Royal Children’s Hospital depends on this support to remain at the forefront of pediatric innovation and compassionate care. The 2025 appeal stands as a powerful example of what collective goodwill can achieve, especially when driven by the belief that every child deserves the best possible medical attention.
Organizers of the appeal expect the final total to continue climbing throughout the day, as evening telecasts, auctions, and donation drives remain ongoing. The consistent growth of this initiative reflects the strong relationship between the hospital and the Victorian community.
What makes the Good Friday Appeal remarkable is not just the money raised, but the sense of unity and shared purpose it fosters. Watching individuals of all ages contribute in their own way was a powerful reminder of how deeply people care about giving back. It's this spirit of generosity and hope that makes the appeal not only a fundraiser but a celebration of compassion.
