Hotondo Homes and Make-A-Wish® Australia

Celebrating 10-years of Partnership with Make-A-Wish Australia

2024 marks the 10-year anniversary of Hotondo Homes’ official partnership with Make-A-Wish Australia. Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of playing a meaningful role in granting life-changing wishes for critically ill children and their families across Australia, bringing smiles, hope, and moments of joy when they are needed most.

From creative cubby houses to beautifully crafted wishing wells used at fundraising events, and even custom-built kennels for wish kids’ new puppy companions, our network has added an extra sparkle to unique wishes over the years. With each project, our franchisees have brought passion and care to create something truly special, adding an extra touch of magic to every wish we’ve supported.

partnership with Make-A-Wish Australia has also been marked by our shared commitment to making a real difference. Over the past 10 years, we’ve contributed over $600,000, helping to grant an incredible amount of wishes that not only bring joy to sick kids but also provide cherished memories for their families.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our franchisees, staff, and community members who have supported and participated in fundraising events, donations, and hands-on involvement. Whether building, donating, or cheering on our efforts, every contribution has been essential to the success of our partnership with Make-A-Wish Australia. Together, we’ve helped make dreams come true for children across Australia, and we look forward to continuing this incredible partnership for years to come.

Granting life-changing wishes for seriously ill children

The team from Central Coast were proud to host a ladies-only Champagne Brunch, with all funds raised supporting Make-A-Wish. The event was held to support kids just like 6-year-old Priya who has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Priya wished to have a party at the beach with all her favourite princesses. The 66 women who attended were entertained by silent auctions, raffles and inspired by guest speaker Adelle Laing.

Local businesses threw their support behind the cause, donating their own services and goods for the special occasion. They raised an incredible $5,469.14 to help grant even more life-changing wishes for seriously ill children. The team are absolutely thrilled with the result and plan on making it an annual event.
