Telethon7 – A Cause Close to Our Hearts

For more than half a century, Telethon7 has brought Western Australians together in support of children and families facing illness, disability and disadvantage.

Telethon7 is one of Western Australia’s most powerful expressions of community, bringing people together around a shared belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Year after year, it demonstrates what’s possible when Western Australians unite behind a common purpose and for more than a decade, Hawaiian has been proud to support this mission, standing alongside the community to help create brighter outcomes for children and families across our state.

At Hawaiian, we value the vital role Telethon7 plays in supporting children facing illness, disability and disadvantage, as well as the parents and carers who walk that journey alongside them. Their strength and resilience is inspiring, and supporting Telethon7 is one small way we can all stand beside them in a difficult journey.

Wrapping Our Arms Around the Mums

While Telethon7 shines a light on the incredible children at the heart of the appeal, it also reminds us of the parents, carers, family members and friends who walk alongside them every step of the way.

This year, Claremont Quarter partnered with Maurice Meade and Telethon7 to celebrate some of those remarkable mums, gifting ten deserving recipients a makeover experience, including a Claremont Quarter gift card and a personal styling session. It was a small way of honouring their resilience, care and contribution.

The ten mums were selected through public nominations, with every nomination also helping raise funds for sick and vulnerable children across the state.

Gifted with Care for the Little Telethon Stars

Each year, Hawaiian has the privilege of preparing personalised gift boxes for the Little Telethon Stars.

Led by a much-loved member of the Hawaiian family and made possible through the generosity of our retail partners, each box is thoughtfully curated around the interests and passions of the children receiving them.

This year, that meant creating something special for Little Telethon Stars, Paige, Olivia and Aiden.

Every gift was selected with care to reflect what makes each of them so unique. It’s a simple gesture, but it’s one we’re privileged to be part of.

While Paige, Olivia and Aiden may be the faces of this year’s appeal, they also represent the thousands of children and families Telethon7 supports across Western Australia. Their stories inspire people across the State to give their time, lend their support and come together for a greater cause.

A Cause That Brings People Together

There is something special about Telethon that brings out the very best in Western Australians. People want to help in their own way.

Our people are no exception. This year, a dedicated team from Hawaiian volunteered their time at the Telethon Call Centre, helping process donations from generous Western Australians throughout the weekend.

Across the business, others found their own way to contribute. Claremont Quarter, Parmelia Hilton Perth and Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa donated auction prizes to the Telethon Ball, helping raise vital funds for children and families across the State.

The evening also provided an opportunity for Hawaiian Chairman Russell Gibbs and CEO Beau Waters to present Hawaiian’s annual contribution, reaffirming our support as a Million Dollar Partner and our commitment to standing alongside the WA community in support of Telethon.

Together, We Are Incredible

In its 59th year, Telethon once again demonstrated the extraordinary generosity of the Western Australian community, raising a record-breaking $101, 277,705 for children and families across the State.

Behind every dollar raised are the volunteers, donors, businesses and families who continue to show up year after year.

At Hawaiian, creating places where people and communities can thrive is at the heart of what we do. Supporting Telethon7 is a natural extension of that purpose and a cause we are honoured to stand behind.

We are proud to have supported this incredible cause for the past 13 years and look forward to continuing the journey beyond Telethon’s milestone 60th year.
