More than 3000 people turned out for Discovery Day at Dame
Elisabeth Murdoch's Cruden Farm on March 14 to raise money for
Murdoch Childrens Research Institute.
The record crowd was treated to perfect sunny conditions at the
"Let's Party!" themed family event, raising an incredible $120,000
for research into conditions such as cancer, allergies, premature
birth and diabetes.
The sixth annual event featured a special performance by popular
children's entertainer Justine Clarke, as well stage shows by
Active Kidz, The Kazoos and DJ Southwick.
Other activities included pony rides, face painting, roving
entertainers, an animal farm, Anaconda rock climbing wall, craft by
Spotlight and Fizz Kidz, market stalls, and various sports clinics
from SOCCERWISE®, Ready Steady Go! and Healthy Aussie Kids.
Thank you to our generous sponsors, donors, supporters, event
committee, happy helpers and all guests who made Discovery Day 2010
a great success. Special thanks to our Patron Dame Elisabeth
Murdoch AC DBE who once again generously shared her beautiful
Cruden Farm with us all.
