Frank Hilton Organisation received over $17,000 from the Compassion Network, through a charity concert fundraiser that was held in Melbourne, Australia by the Shiva’s Regal Project.

Chief Executive Officer Sureni Perera expresses her gratitude to the group for their commitment and support towards the organisation and the support services.

This is the second fundraising concert held to support the Frank Hilton Organisation.

“At the core of everything we do, lies a belief that has shaped us—a quote we were raised with: “Hands that serve are holier than the lips that pray.” This truth is embedded in our hearts. It reminds us that real service, real compassion, is not just in words but in actions. Every person who contributed—whether they bought a ticket, donated to our GoFundMe, or simply offered their time and support—has lived this truth, and we are deeply humbled by their service,” said Shiva Karan – Founder, Compassion Network Lead.

Frank Hilton CEO Sureni Perera says they are grateful for the donation, adding that this funding will support their ongoing support services program.

“The Shivas Regal Project that is now the Compassion Network, raised a similar amount last year to support us. This year they took it further, they have formalised a charitable network to formally scope the donor landscape and raise fund for us in Australia, and that is huge. It gives us hope”, She said.

The Compassion Network is committed to raising awareness, building stronger partnerships, and ensuring that every child, regardless of their ability, has the opportunity to thrive.

“We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, supporters, fans, and volunteers. Your belief in this cause, your unwavering support, and your generosity have made this possible. This is not just our achievement—it’s yours. Without you, we wouldn’t be standing here today, and without your compassion, we wouldn’t be able to continue this journey”, Karan said.

“Looking ahead, our vision for the future is clear: we will continue to stand by the Frank Hilton Organisation, supporting the children who need us most,” he added.

The Shiva Regal Project, which puts together two sold out fundraising concerts in Australia in 2023 and September this year, aims to continue their passion for giving in the years to come.
