2022 Zweck Gala Fashion Parade for Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation
Building on success and making a difference
Building on the success of previous years, Zweck is excited to announce the third Zweck Gala Fashion Parade for Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (“PCHF”). This year’s event will take place from 6.30pm on Saturday 8 October 2022 at the University Club at UWA in Crawley and hopes to raise a further $50,000 to support PCHF. Previous events have already raised in excess of $50,000, thanks to the generous contributions from sponsors and participants.
In 2019, the inaugural Zweck Gala Fashion Parade in 2019 raised over $21,000 and last year’s event raised a further $30,000 for the PCHF. All funds have been put to great use in Perth Children’s Hospital’s innovative music therapy program. Music therapy has been shown to be of enormous benefit to seriously ill children and Zweck is excited to contribute to this amazing cause.
About Zweck
Zweck is a Western Australian fashion house with innovative, stylish and highly- wearable designs. Founder Klara Forrest explains the name Zweck was chosen because it means “Purpose” – and this is a guiding principle behind the brand. Part of Zweck’s purpose is to make a positive difference – to the lives of children affected by illness and also to women who want to express themselves with unique and original fashion.
Zweck Gala Fashion Parades are a celebration of the women that wear Zweck garments – and previous events have featured women from all walks of life as “real life” models – in addition to professional models.
The third Zweck Gala Fashion Parade for PCHF will feature over forty wonderful women wearing bespoke outfits that celebrate their individuality and style. The Fashion Parade will be showcasing some stand-alone pieces designed individually and exclusively for the models and some of the extremely versatile Zweck Spring/Summer collection 2022-2023.
A declaration of modern, innovative and feminine silhouettes with beautiful pieces that will take you from desk to dinner, beach to ball and more!
About PCHF
Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation fuels the fight at the frontline of children’s healthcare, to help children get well and stay well. PCHF is the official and largest funder of Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) and the wider Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) after government. Thanks to the wonderful generosity of donors in the past 25 years over $92 million has been contributed, with a further $21 million committed over the next five years.
These magnificent efforts enable PCH and CAHS to ensure WA’s sick children and young people are closer to having access to world-class care. Beyond funding ground-breaking research, innovative technology and equipment, education and training programs and world-class expertise, we support positive patient experiences.
Hospitals can be a frightening place for children and their families. Positive patient experience is related to children experiencing less anxiety, creating positive memories of their visit, and enhancing positive self esteem. Our generous donors enable us to fund educational materials and therapeutic experiences for patients and their families.
Children are at the heart of what we do—and their happiness always comes first.
