Last night,  Shaw and Partners was honoured to return as Platinum Partner of Gold Dinner 2025 — marking our fourth year supporting this extraordinary cause. Led by Linda and Josh Penn, the Gold Dinner Committee once again redefined generosity. Through a series of fundraising events leading up to the Gold Dinner, a record-breaking $84.3 million was raised for charity — surpassing the $80 million target and shattering previous fundraising results of $33.4 million in 2024, $19.2 million in 2023, and $9 million in 2022. Gold Dinner is now the largest children’s hospital fundraising event in the world.

These funds will support critical paediatric services across Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, and The Children’s Hospital at Westmead — from complex care and emergency medicine to cancer treatment and Australia’s first dedicated national burns unit.

As part of our Platinum Partnership, Shaw and Partners proudly donated over $500,000 on the night — a contribution partly funded through the efforts of our Institutional team during this year’s Insto Foundation Day. Again, we extend our genuine thanks to our institutional clients for their generosity and support in making this possible.

Our continued involvement in Gold Dinner reaffirms the Shaw and Partners Foundation’s credibility and long-term commitment to meaningful charitable efforts. We are proud to stand alongside a united community of philanthropists, healthcare advocates and corporate leaders — all dedicated to transforming the future of children’s healthcare in Australia.
