Stan Perron Charitable Foundation

The Stan Perron Charitable Foundation exists to continue Stan Perron’s legacy of giving for the benefit of the Western Australian community, the disadvantaged and those who need a helping hand. Since 1978, the Foundation has supported thousands of individuals and organisations across the State, with a focus on creating meaningful and lasting impact.
The Foundation’s support for the WA Comprehensive Centre for Childhood Burns is helping advance a shared vision: that no child is defined by their burn injury and every child has the opportunity to live a full, healthy life.

Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (PCHF)

Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation is dedicated to transforming the healthcare of WA children by funding research, innovation, equipment and programs that help deliver better care and outcomes for children and their families.
PCHF has played an important role in advancing childhood burns research and innovation, supporting FWF across a range of research studies, technologies and initiatives. This philanthropic investment has helped our researchers explore new approaches to burn treatment and healing, generate new knowledge and improve our understanding of the long-term physical and psychological impacts of burn injury.
Through this longstanding relationship, PCHF continues to help create opportunities for research and innovation that can improve the lives of children who experience a burn injury and their families.
