Dear [Name,fallback=Friend],
On Friday 20th June at the Hordern Pavilion we host our first ever Golden Stave Charity Dinner.
In 35 years we have raised over $14 million for over 50 children’s charities in NSW. So after another week at work come along on Friday night and break bread, share a meal with us and network with the music and entertainment industry. We have such a fantastic line up of talent to entertain you and there are still seats available.
We need your support to continue the good work.

Below are some testimonials from the charities we support.
Austism NSW
"Our music program is pivotal to the development of the students social, communication and creative domains. With the generous support of organisation like Golden Stave. The success is evident in the music programs which include African Drums, Ukuleles and percussion and the fact that all our students are able to perform in our annual school concert." - Bruce Rowles Principal - www.autismspectrum.org.au
Catherine Sullivan Centre
"Strathfields Catherine Sullivan Centre is the only early intervention service in the local area for babies and young children who are deaf or have hearing loss. Golden Stave has provided our Centre with opportunities to develop aspects of our program which would not be possible without their financial support.” Clare Hopley, Director
Central Coast Kids In Need
"The funding received from the Golden Stave is of great assistance to our organisation in continuing to provide financial assistance to families of seriously ill children who are required to travel to Sydney/Newcastle hospitals for specialized treatment. We assist with accommodation & travel costs for these families.” Lorraine Churchill Secretary - Central Coast Kids In Need
Community Outreach Ministries – Sutherland Shire
"Our charity (Community Outreach Ministries located in The Shire) deals with homelessness and the problems associated with it. The Golden Stave Foundation has supported our community work since 2000 and it is used directly to assist children and youth. For example we recently provided shelter to a mother and seven children. They are from Orange and needed to be near the Prince of Wales hospital where the eldest daughter was undergoing heart surgery. They had nowhere to go so we housed them for a month in our premises at Cronulla. The Golden Stave made this possible allowing us to set aside some rooms for just such a purpose. This is just an example of what we do - Reverend George Capsis OAM
HeartKids NSW
"Golden Stave have been a wonderful supporter of HeartKids NSW in Wentworthville, helping us improve the hospital experience for families affected by Childhood Heart Disease - which is the greatest reason for admission of children into intensive care at Westmead." - David Rose, CEO, HeartKids NSW
KidsXpress
"KidsXpress is a world-first expressive therapy program for children 4 – 14yrs who have experienced the impact of emotional trauma such as abuse, neglect, family dysfunction (including domestic violence), grief & loss, mental health difficulties. The Golden Stave Foundation was one of the first foundations to offer to help and has provided vital funds to ensure our KidsXpress Music Therapists are able to work with our most vulnerable kids." Margo Ward – Founder & CEO
The Shepherd Centre, an organisation teaching deaf children to learn to listen and speak.
"The support we have received from The Golden Stave Foundation has been invaluable, allowing us to provide our 'Sing and Grow' music program to children with hearing loss and their families - Jim Hungerford, CEO, The Shepherd Centre.
Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches
Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches uses the funding received from the Golden Stave Foundation to enable Surf Life Saving instructors to provide free of charge Surf Safety and Surf Awareness courses year round for under-privileged kids attending Stewart House at Curl Curl. Each year approximately 1,800 children receive the benefit of this hands-on training thanks to the generous support of the Golden Stave Foundation. The program has been running now for over ten years and would not be possible without the funding of the Golden Stave Foundation. – Steve McInnes CEO
Wheelchair Sports NSW
"The Golden Stave Foundation has been supporting our charity or a large number of years. The Foundation has been assisting with our annual Junior Wheelchair Christmas Camp when we bring up to 50 children with disabilities from around the State to a Camp at Narrabeen. The Camp provides a nurturing and caring environment, and over the years has shaped and enriched the lives of many junior wheelies. A life changing experience for many of these children. Without the help of the Golden Stave we could not sustain the Camp and provide this unique opportunity for many to participate." - Jim O’Brien CEO Wheelchair Sports NSW.
