This reflects the support we have had over the past 5 years from Lion and Lioness Clubs throughout Australia. Our continued success can only be achieved with the help of your Club! Again this year your winner can select to win $300 (or value to be nominated by your Lions Club) choice of groceries from the participating supermarket, or, have the fun of picking goodies in the 3 minute dash.

With the fantastic level of support given to the Great Australian Grocery Grab by Lions Clubs throughout Australia the Lions Cord Blood Foundation has chosen to continue the project during September/October 2011, where your Clubs backing is sought once again.

To the Lions/Lioness Clubs who participated in 2010 congratulations on your efforts. Many Clubs took the opportunity to use the Grocery Grab as a membership drive, others gained great media exposure for their Club and from the Supermarket supporting Lions.

The Foundation with the help of Lions and Lioness fundraising and disbursements were able to purchase a further storage tank for the BMDI Cord Blood Bank housed at the Royal Children’s Hospital. The Foundation also raised funds to pay for a three-year Research Assistant who has ground-breaking success with her findings. A further three-year Research funding will commence in July 2011. Costing $56,000 per year.

The quality of Cord Blood units processed and stored is now of the highest quality, which has increased the cost from around $1500 to $1800 per unit.

To date 900 cords have been banked at the Cord Blood Bank Royal Children’s Hospital with cords being sought by medical institutions locally and overseas with high success rate.
