About Grace Gala
The Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care which is The Children’s Hospital at Westmead’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit, the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation and Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation will once again come together to host the Grace Gala.
Both organisations are household names, loved and respected for their work and their long history of commitment to the wellbeing of babies and children.
The Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care delivers complex medical and surgical care to extremely sick newborn babies from NSW, the ACT and the Pacific Rim.
These babies are born with conditions that need immediate stabilisation and treatment, which often involves very complicated surgery on tiny bodies. Babies with conditions like complex congenital heart disease, remediable congenital malformations and medical conditions are flown to the unit within hours of birth to receive care not available anywhere else in the state. The care provided is literally the difference between life and death. As the Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care has gotten better at saving babies lives, our focus has moved to improving the quality of these lives.
That is where Cerebral Palsy Alliance walks alongside families for the long journey. As a global leader in cerebral palsy research, services, technology, innovation and advocacy, and now in our 81st year, we are driven by a simple belief that every baby and every child deserves the chance to grow, to learn and to live a life filled with possibility, no matter how complex their condition. Our research informs life changing interventions, and together with families, clinicians and innovators, we work to improve not only survival but the quality of every child’s life.
Grace Gala is a powerful expression of this shared mission. Together, Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation, the Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care and Cerebral Palsy Alliance unite our communities in a night of hope and gratitude, raising vital funds for world class care in the earliest days of life and for the lifelong research and support that can change a child’s future. Together with you, we can create a world of opportunity for every child living with cerebral palsy and complex conditions.
