Olivia Lambert Foundation

The Olivia Lambert Foundation (ABN 16 084 668 667) was established on 12 August 2010 as a registered charity, the purpose being to provide:  

“money, property or benefits to, or for the relief, maintenance, support and benefit of Olivia Lambert and other Australian children suffering neuroblastoma or other aggressive forms of cancer and who are in necessitous circumstances”.   

The charity has a broad purpose of assisting families who find themselves in a similar situation to Olivia and her family.   Adding to the despair and anxiety of dealing with critically ill kids can be the crippling financial burden of job loss, travel and treatment.  The foundation exists to assist families through these difficult financial circumstances.                                                                                                                                                                 

The Foundation has five trustees:

• Richard Hedges AM, Olivia’s grandfather and founder
   

• Ian Lambert, also Olivia’s grandfather and a senior executive with Geoscience Australia
   

• Wayne Byrne,  Partner Vanzwan Accounting Plus
   

• Rodney Smith, Finance Director for a large technology consulting company 
   

• Ben Fuller, Partner with Meyer Vandenberg Lawyers in Canberra.

The ability of the foundation to support financially disadvantaged families with children who are suffering aggressive forms of cancer depends on the generous support of the community.   

The spectacularly successful charity dinner and auction held on 11 September 2010 will be repeated in 2011 and become a keynote annual fundraising event. The trustees of the foundation are looking to Australian businesses for their ongoing sponsorship of the foundation which in turn will be rewarded by wide media exposure, naming rights and acknowledgment of the generosity extended.  

The point of contact for the foundation is the founder and trustee, Richard Hedges.  Please Contact Us for further information.
