The Special Children's Christmas Parties are annual events held in many
areas around Australia. The invited children are either living with a life
threatening illness or have a physical or intellectual disability. Some
siblings of special needs children and limited numbers of children living
in severely disadvantaged circumstances may also receive invitations.
Parties were held in 2008 in Darwin, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay,
Rockhampton, Nambour, Toowoomba, Coffs Harbour and Newcastle.
Children are sourced from an area as great as a 300km radius from each
Party. In all, a total of around 10,000 children attended the nine events.
