Each year FDC brings friends, clients and partners together for a day of entertainment at our annual Melbourne Cup Charity Luncheon, all while supporting an important cause that is personal to us. In 2025, we will be raising funds for Make-A-Wish Australia.
Since 1985, Make-A-Wish has been working hard in communities across Australia to grant inspirational, life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
As one of Australia’s most trusted charities, we work in partnership with sick children, their families, and medical teams to design and deliver wishes that are as unique as the children who imagine them.
No two wishes are alike — but every wish transforms the lives of those involved.
Right now, Make-A-Wish is supporting over 900 critically ill children.
They are the only Australian children’s charity solely dedicated to granting wishes for kids facing critical illness.
More than 11,000 extraordinary wishes, and counting, have come true.
Despite being a trusted charity, Make-A-Wish receives no government funding and relies on the generosity of the community.
