The KidzWish Foundation is a non profit organisation benefiting sick, disabled and disadvantaged children.
They say every time you laugh you will add a minute to your life. Every time we hear of a child dying or suffering a debilitating disease, or not having the
advantages in life that others have, we wish we had made more of an effect to make them laugh ‘just a little bit more.’
The KidzWish Foundation believes that whilst a child’s life may not be able to be extended, or its
circumstances changed, KidzWish will try to improve their quality of life, even if just for a moment. |

The KidzWish Foundation has purchased a new Titanium Basketball Wheelchair for young Roller Hawk Luke Pople
Luke is a very deserving athlete, in his first year playing in the NWBL, Luke was voted the most improved player and the Australian Coach acknowledged him as the most hard working youngster he has seen in a long time. Luke is currently training with the Australian Squad.
Luke was presented with his new Wheelchair by Executive Director Chris Beaven at the Wollongong Hawks Home Game - Play Off 3 on Saturday 27th February 2010
The KidzWish Foundation purchased the chair as part of their Love and Laughter program which is designed to give assistance to Special Children and their families - For more information click here
We hope Luke's new Basketball Chair will aide him in becoming the next Australian Representative or Paralympian from the Illawarra.

There is nowhere else in Australia that events like this happen in one day!
Where do you start in giving thanks to all those who took the time and energy to support the latest and indeed greatest KidzWish Christmas Party for Special Children ever to happen at the WIN Entertainment Centre, followed on the same day by The KidzWish Annual Charity Ball?
Over 4 300 special children and their carers enjoyed ‘5 star entertainment’ for a couple of precious hours last Friday.
It was with pleasure that The KidzWish Foundation delivered a welcome break from the problems that these children and their families deal with every day.
