Hawkesbury Canoe Classic Association

Annual 111km overnight paddle on the Hawkesbury River

In 1977, members of the NSW Outward Bound Ex-Students Association organised a canoe race along the Hawkesbury to raise money for medical research. That first race attracted 250 paddlers and raised $8,500 for charity.

In 1994, the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic Association began supporting Arrow, and since then, it has raised more than $4.5 million for us, funding important medical research projects including the annual Hawkesbury Canoe Classic PhD Research scholarship.

Now, in our second year, we’ve surpassed that total with over $45,500 raised and are excited to continue building a strong partnership.

Allan Frenkel Foundation

Supporting teens with cancer

Allan Frenkel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukaemia in May 1995, and died in January 1996. He was only 18. In September 1997, his family started the Allan Frenkel Foundation to raise funds for leukaemia research and to provide support for teenagers and families touched by cancer.

Through the family’s fundraising events they have donated over $120,000 to Arrow for our patient support services. This has provided financial assistance to hundreds of families receiving bone marrow transplants, helping to pay utility bills and petrol costs, easing the financial burden for numerous patients as they undergo intensive medical treatment.
