Springvale RSL has brought their community together to support world-class care close to home and young patients at Monash Children’s Hospital.

Recently, they hosted their ‘Helping Children Heal Gala’, raising funds for Monash Children’s Hospital. This is the second year the committee has organised the event, after a successful 2024 Gala with their dedicated community. This year, over 120 guests joined to support their vision to fundraise for families and children in need.  

In a remarkable show of generosity, Springvale RSL not only worked tirelessly to create a wonderful night but also led by example – launching the pledges on the evening with a very generous $25,000 donation. Their commitment inspired the room, and the event raised more than $60,000.  

Many members have shared in their own connections to Monash Children’s Hospital – with children and grandchildren receiving both short and long-term care. Our special hospital becoming an important pillar of support and hope for growing families.   

Funds raised will enable Monash Children’s Hospital to continue delivering world-class care for young patients and help create a purpose-designed sensory garden at Monash Health’s Casey Early Parenting Centre – to support children’s development and emotional well-being. 

On behalf of Monash Health, thank you to the Springvale RSL team and everyone who attended this wonderful event. Your heartfelt generosity is a testament to the power of community.
