Picnic for Prems
April – May
We’re asking you to roll out your picnic blanket, bring your crew together and put on a spread – all in an effort to raise awareness and funds for families on this life-changing journey.
Every dollar raised will make a difference by allowing Life’s Little Treasures Foundation to continue providing the services needed to support these families during their hospital stay through to when they transition home.

Craft Connections
Craft-a-thon

Having a baby born sick or premature can be a very stressful, traumatic experience that often overshadows the joy that comes with the birth of a new baby.
What better way to show you care than with a handmade item crafted with love! Join our Craft-a-thon and knit, sew, quilt or crochet items for babies in neonatal units across Australia.

Walk for Prems
1-31 October
Proudly presented by Baby Bunting, Walk for Prems is our flagship fundraiser.
Taking place in October each year, we host walks all around Australia as well as a virtual option so no one has to miss out. Through this initiative, we’ve raised $4.2 million to support families with babies born premature or sick.
It’s an opportunity for families who share similar life experiences to connect and celebrate their resilient little treasures. It’s also an opportunity for the broader community to acknowledge and honour those babies who have lost their fight.
World Prematurity Day
17 November
One in every 10 babies is born premature. World Prematurity Day is about honouring the struggles of babies born too soon, celebrating those who have graduated from neonatal units to eventually go home and remembering those who lost their fight to survive.
Each November, we celebrate World Prematurity Day by hosting events and lighting up landmarks around the country! Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram in the lead up to this important day to find out exactly what we’ve got in store!

Hope starts with a step this October, so gather your crew and register now to start fundraising.
