Victoria's Good Friday Appeal has raised a record-breaking $25,268,485 for the Royal Children's Hospital in its 95th year, bringing the total amount raised since inception to over half a billion dollars. The fundraising effort included street collections by volunteers, a house auction in Melbourne's West that generated over $1.2 million, and phone room donations coordinated by CFA volunteers. Despite cost of living pressures, Victorians demonstrated significant generosity to support sick children and their families at the hospital.
