GALA CHARITY AVIATORS BALL  

Last year the Aero Club celebrated its 80th birthday by hosting a Gala Charity Aviators Ball… The black tie event was an exciting, entertaining and successful event; it was attended by over 150 guests including club members, flying instructors and family and friends of both.
The event provided support for and raised much needed funds for Angel Flight Australia… this year we provide support for another worthwhile cause:
The CHILDREN’S CANCER CENTRE Foundation, Royal Children’s Hospital.Children's Cancer Centre Foundation Inc (CCCF) was established in 1998 and acts as the primary support and focus group of the Children's Cancer Centre and functions to achieve and sustain Australia's first truly world-class Children's Cancer Centre offering holistic care (research and treatment) for children with cancer.

The Children's Cancer Centre is counted as one of the international leaders in the research and treatment of childhood cancer and treats the largest number of children with cancer in Australia. Each year, the Centre treats around 160 newly-diagnosed cancer patients under the age of 18; a further 1000 or so children receive ongoing treatment and/or active patient follow-up.

While the Children's Cancer Centre has excellent results of treatment with cure rates in childhood cancer, around 30 -40 children in our community continue to die each year of incurable cancers. Of those children who do survive, some still experience a range of long-term side effects resulting from their cancer and/or associated treatment.

The Centre's vision is to improve the outcomes for all our children.
* Greater survival rates
* Less illness
* Improved treatments
* Increased availability of world class clinical trials
