Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club Supports BrightSpark

The Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club (RFBYC) and BrightSpark proudly acknowledge the successful completion of their two-year philanthropic campaign and community awareness collaboration, which has played a vital role in advancing child health research in Western Australia.

In 2023, RFBYC selected BrightSpark as its nominated charity to support for a 2-year period. Over the past two years, RFBYC has hosted multiple fundraising events, bringing together the club’s members and the wider community to support BrightSpark’s mission to financially support WA’s emerging child health researchers. The generous contributions from RFBYC’s members have directly impacted early-career researchers, helping them drive critical advances in child health research.

BrightSpark Chair, Graham Dowland, reflected on the impact of the partnership:

RFBYC has been an incredible supporter of our mission. Their generosity and community spirit has helped enormously with the work that BrightSpark does, which is to support WA based early-career researchers make real progress in child health research. We are grateful for their generosity and look forward to continuing the momentum they helped build. It has been a wonderful experience with the RFBYC community who demonstrated positivity and generous philanthropic spirit.
