Every Illuminate event is about you – our passionate community of supporters – coming together to spark discoveries that change lives. Twice a year, you have the chance to meet the researchers whose ideas could transform child health and decide which projects you want to bring to life.
Illuminate PitchFest – Where your support ignites breakthroughs
Each February, Illuminate PitchFest puts you at the heart of innovation. Ten of our most promising researchers take the stage to share their boldest ideas – projects that could make a real difference for kids everywhere.
You’ll hear their vision firsthand, ask questions, and choose the research that inspires you most. Your pledge can help secure a $25,000 Illuminate Award, turning a great idea into real-world impact.

Illuminate Sundowner – Celebrate the impact you’ve made
In September, Illuminate Sundowner is your chance to see the difference your generosity creates. This relaxed evening brings you face-to-face with award recipients in a lively ‘researcher speed dating’ session – quickfire conversations where you’ll hear how your support has advanced child health research over the past six months.
It’s a celebration of connection, progress, and the incredible role you play in shaping healthier futures.
