How we leverage your donations
The Foundation is increasingly building significant research and clinical
collaborations to transform health care and demonstrably reduce the burden
of disease on children. The Queensland community can be proud of their
commitment to funding solutions through the Foundation to some of the
most devastating diseases afflicting children. We not only ensure that we fund
the highest quality research and clinical improvements to unlock answers for

Kidzone - a place where
kids can just be kids
Hospitals can be scary places, which is why it’s
important for kids to have a place to go where
they can have fun, play and just be kids.
With the support of Event Hospitality and
Entertainment, Kidzone has become a haven
for kids at Queensland Children’s Hospital.
With an enormous tree to hide in, and butterflies on the
walls, Kidzone gives kids the opportunity to get out of their
rooms and gives siblings a place to play and have fun while
their brother or sister receives treatment or attends an
appointment. The stress of appointments and treatments
can be hard on families – both on patients and on their
parents and siblings. Kidzone gives everyone the opportunity
for a break, whether it be for 10 minutes while mum and dad
have a coffee, for an hour while a sibling receives treatment,
or every day during a long stay.
Play is such an important aspect of a child’s life, so we want
to make sure that even though they are in hospital, they
have an opportunity to smile, laugh and just be kids. Our
dedicated volunteers are always happy to get involved with
the fun and games, and their goal is to bring a smile to the
face of every Kidzone visitor.
Kidzone was funded by Event Hospitality and Entertainment.
