The amazing people at the Shepherd Centre have been helping deaf children learn to listen and speak for almost 50 years.
The money our Big Wave Digital team raises through competing in ocean swims, charity events, and direct donations goes directly to kids with hearing loss.
Utilising incredible innovations like Cochlear technology, they’re improving hearing, speech and language. They’re giving young people all the skills they need to succeed in this world.
SYDNEY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
We love the good people at Sydney Children’s Hospital. They save babies and young kids everyday.
They’ve made a real difference to so many families like ours. The money Big Wave Digital gives to the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation helps deliver expert medical care to kids who need help.
It’s helping the hospital meet its most urgent needs for new life-saving equipment, researching cures for complex illness, and round the clock care.
