🌟 Celebrating Denise McGrath’s 23 Years with Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation 🌟

Last Friday, after 23 remarkable years leading Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation, our beloved Denise McGrath retired from her role as CEO.
Since 2002, Denise has been a guiding light for the Foundation—shaping it from its early beginnings into the strong, community-focused organisation it is today.

Over more than two decades, she has worked tirelessly to support the health and wellbeing of children across the Macarthur region. Under her leadership, the Foundation expanded hospital programs, strengthened community fundraising initiatives and built a dedicated network of volunteers, sponsors, supporters, and partners.

Denise’s compassion, vision, and unwavering commitment have touched thousands of children and families and have left a profound legacy across the Macarthur community. While she is stepping down as CEO, we know she won’t be far—continuing to support and attend KOMHF events with the same passion she has shown for 23 years.

On behalf of our board, staff, volunteers, supporters, and the entire community: thank you, Denise, for your extraordinary leadership and dedication. HAPPY RETIREMENT!!! 💛
