Working together to prevent, cure and care
That simple sentence sums up Flinders Foundation’s purpose – to work together with individuals and organisations in the community to support health and medical research and improve patient care across the Flinders medical precinct.
Together, we raise vital funds to support the leading clinicians and researchers across Flinders Medical Centre and Flinders University to make medical discoveries and improve the care available to patients and their families.
Join us at the Flinders Foundation Fun-tastic Kids Fun Fair.
Calling all past and present Flinders’ babies, kids and families!
You’re invited to join us at the Flinders Foundation Fun-tastic Kids Fun Fair! Celebrate and support Flinders’ Kids. Free games, activities and live entertainment. Amusement rides and food truck treats available for purchase or BYO picnic!
