Breakfast Fundraiser held at The Hakoah Club.
The SMILE Foundation recently held a very successful breakfast fundraiser for Mums and Bubs. At least 120 mothers together with 150 babies and toddlers were entertained by Go Seek and Adam Williams, SMILE Ambassador and Choreographer for So You Think You Can Dance.
Dr Jonny Taitz, Chair of the SMILE Foundation and Paediatrician at Sydney Children’s Hospital, gave a first hand inspiring talk about families whose children suffer from rare diseases, many of whom he sees on a daily basis. Cheri Ochnio, SMILE'S Family Relief Program Co-ordinator spoke to the audience about her daily challenges with a daughter who has a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy and the vital role that SMILE plays in helping Australian families.

Lisa Forrest, Ambassador for the SMILE Foundation spoke to the ladies about SMILE and the importance of supporting this charity. From these events, the club raised an incredible $34,800 which will go to aid these families whose children suffer from rare diseases.
