The viva Young Members (vivaRCH) have been FUNdraising for The Royal Children’s Hospital as an auxiliary since 2002. It is a young charitable organisation that promotes the notion of effective FUNdraising and community contribution in the context of fun, glamorous and lively social activity.
 
In founding vivaRCH, the founder’s primary objective was to contribute to the development of pain management programs that actively help children and adolescents living with chronic pain as she does. This has extended to the development of procedural and acute pain management programs. The Royal Children’s Hospital now has a dedicated Pain Management team and is running programs for doctors, nurses, patients and their family and friends.
 
Thanks to the vivaRCH team members all being volunteers, and a range of sponsors who continue to support the group, the vivaRCH is able to donate 100% of all profits from each event directly to The Royal Children's Hospital.
