We host our own fundraising events but also partner with other organisations that share our goal of bringing joy and opportunities to children living with disability or illness.
If you’re organising an event and would like to direct the proceeds to KidsWish, we’d love to hear from you. Our team can provide support with marketing, fundraising and volunteers.
KidsWish are excited to partner with Illawarra’s Friendly Neighbourhood Spidey to bring you the very first Superhero Santa Snaps KidsWish fundraising event.

There are three photo packages to choose from, with all proceeds going directly to KidsWish.

KidsWish are proud to partner with Wollongong Wolves, Illawarra’s top football club who competes in the NSW National Premier Leagues Competition.
The very first KidsWish Charity Match kicked off in 2023 and attracted the Wolves biggest home crowd for the season.
The event coincides with one of the team’s scheduled NPL matches at WIN Stadium, and is made extra special with the inclusion of a fundraising raffle, player signing opportunities and pre-game entertainment by The Disability Trust’s White Knights team and KidsWish Sports Academy participants.
The 2024 KidsWish Charity Match will take place on Sunday 7 July when Wollongong Wolves take on Sydney Olympic at WIN Stadium.
This event aims to raise money in support of KidsWish with fantastic sponsorship opportunities.
The Illawarra Annual Brick Show has supported KidsWish since it began in 2018. This event is proudly presented by GongLUG, a small group of Wollongong AFOL’s (Adult fans of LEGO®), who are passionate about helping children living with disability or illness.

KidsWish are thrilled to be partnering with The Great Illawarra Walk in 2024, with all funds raised through this fantastic event supporting KidsWish!
Registrations are open and everyone is invited to take part in Illawarra’s great walk which takes you from Shellharbour to Austinmer. If the 40km route doesn’t appeal to you, this year’s event will see the new KidsWish Blue Mile added so all members of the community can be involved.
KidsWish are looking for water station sponsors to support the event. A donation of $1000 will get your business a water station along the 40km trek where you can kit out your station with your branding, decorate, dress up and create a vibe for our walkers! Your business will receive social posts from KidsWish and The Great Illawarra Walk acknowledging your support.
For more details about sponsoring a water station click here or email events@kidswish.org.au
