- Funds will establish a new preschool in North Adelaide.
- Auction included signed memorabilia and rare band items.
The acclaimed Australian hip-hop group, Hilltop Hoods, has concluded their "Never Coming Home" national tour with a significant charitable achievement. An associated online auction, held recently, successfully raised more than A$95,000 for Lion Hearts Learning, a South Australian charity dedicated to supporting children and families affected by cancer and other serious health conditions.
This substantial contribution will facilitate the opening of a new Playgroup/Preschool in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. This expansion will extend the charity's vital services to more children in need. The auction featured a variety of unique items, including signed memorabilia, platinum plaques, rare vinyl records, and limited-edition collaborations, all generously donated by the band.
Hailing from Adelaide, Hilltop Hoods have a decorated career, boasting the most entries on triple j's Hottest 100 countdown and a streak of six consecutive ARIA No. 1 albums. Their commitment to supporting Lion Hearts Learning is deeply personal, with one of the band members having had their family impacted by childhood cancer. The group expressed gratitude for the opportunity to fundraise for such a worthy cause.
