Bighearted Bywongians


The overcast day and slightly soggy grounds did not dampen the generosity of those at our loved annual (well it was annual, BC – Before COVID) Bywong Car Boot Sale.

As the sun came out, so did lots of locals. They were very quick to enquire about our big colourful sign (and our hand scrawled cardboard ones) stating that all funds raised today will go to support Dainere’s Rainbow Brain Tumour Research Fund. Not
only did they buy up big, but most customers gave more than the suggested price and lots of people just popped in and gave donations.

The aim of the day was not only to raise the much-needed funds for paediatric brain tumour research but to also shine light on the everyday diligent work carried out by Dainere’s family. They strive every day to prevent another child from having to
suffer as Dainere did.

$447.15 later I’m pleased to say that both goals were reached. Huge thank you to Bywong Community Association, my wonderful helper Ella and the local supporters.

We celebrate and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of the ACT and region.

Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation are proud to display the new Registered Charity Tick from the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), which aims to gives reassurance to the public that the charities they support are transparent and accountable. We rely on your donations and volunteering to ensure we can continue our vital work, so we want you to know your support is making a difference. Where you see the logo, it means the charity is registered with the ACNC so the public can easily find out what they do, who their beneficiaries are, how they are governed and how they manage their finances.
