Torquay Lions Club set a record contribution for the 2025 Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Good Friday Appeal (GFA).
Raising $35,361, the Lions Club was the largest contributor to the Torquay total of $78,000.
GFA Torquay Region Area Manager Peter McMahon and Peter Thomas worked closely together to help Torquay achieve a high figure again this year.
Ross Yapp co-ordinated Lions’ fundraising activities and Colin Bellis is the Lions Club president.
This year, the Good Friday Appeal, in partnership with the RCH, will provide $3 million in funding to 41 health services across regional Victoria, taking the RCH excellence into the regions with new, paediatric-specific equipment, technology and training.
As well, the RCH will be funding 27 projects across research, equipment and technology, patient and family centred care, and education and training, to ensure the hospital continues to provide life-saving care for kids across Victoria.
