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 – now the race attracts more than 400 paddlers each year.

The Hawkesbury Canoe Classic Association began supporting Arrow in 1994 – since then it has raised more than $4.22 million for us, funding important medical research projects, PhD scholarships and patient support services.

Tour de Cure

Fundraising cycling tours

In 2007, a coffee between two mates led to the formation of Tour de Cure. Since then this annual cycling challenge has raised millions in funding for vital cancer research, support and prevention projects.

In December 2011, a $36,000 donation was presented to Arrow to help fund vital patient support services as well as scholarships for nurses employed in the field of blood and bone marrow transplantation and paediatric oncology.

Since 2012, Tour de Cure has sponsored our Tracey Scone Wig Library through an annual donation of $20,000.

 

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.

We thank the Liverpool Catholic Club for donating $30,000 in support of Arrow’s patient support services.
