Participate at Drakes SA and QLD!
If you’re in SA or QLD, you can be a Hero for HeartKids by visiting your local Drakes store. Pick up a $2 wall token, add your name, and place it on the wall.
Over the past eight years, Drakes store teams have raised more than $1.1 million to support children and families impacted by childhood-onset heart disease.
Beaded bracelets will also be available for $5 in selected stores.
This May and June, help raise awareness for the real heroes: the children, young people, adults and families impacted by childhood-onset heart disease.
Every day in Australia, eight babies are born with a heart condition. That means every three hours, another family begins a lifelong journey of appointments, uncertainty, treatment and recovery.
By making a one-off or recurring donation, you can help ensure children and families have access to trusted information, practical support, connection and guidance shaped by lived experience. Your support helps HeartKids be there from diagnosis, through hospital stays and surgery, and across every stage of life, while also strengthening advocacy for the hundreds of thousands of Australians living with childhood-onset heart disease.
Want to show up like a superhero when it matters most?
Support Hero for HeartKids by creating your own fundraiser and encouraging your friends, family, schoolmates and colleagues to dress up, get involved and be a hero for heart kids this June.
8 babies are born with a heart condition every day.
