The Friends of The Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation
Since 1992 the Friends of The Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation have shared the mission to understand the causes of and find new treatments for brain diseases.
The Friends of the RMH Neuroscience Foundation organise the main fundraising activities for the foundation. This committee is made up of volunteers and has been arranging fundraising activities since 1992. Each year the Friends host a fundraising dinner in Melbourne.
The dinner attracts a great deal of interest and is a well-known social event. Recent guest speakers have included Susan Duncan, author and former editor of Women's Weekly, Rasheda Ali, daughter of boxer Muhammad Ali and The Hon. Peter Costello, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. Dinner attendees include prominent business leaders, State and Federal government ministers, sporting celebrities and members of the medical and legal community.
Together we have made tremendous progress in our understanding of and developing new treatments for eradicating brain diseases as life-threatening diseases through research, education, screening and treatment.
The generosity of our donors is vital as we continue our efforts to help patients today, as well as to invest in the health of future generations.
Over $310, 000 raised in 2009!
