The Fred Hollows Foundation
Inspired by the late Professor Fred Hollows (1929-1993), The Fred Hollows Foundation's vision is for a world where no one is needlessly blind, and Indigenous Australians enjoy the same health and life expectancy as other Australians.
In 1992, Fred and Gabi Hollows set up The Fred Hollows Foundation in Australia. The Foundation currently work in more than 20 countries worldwide.
Since Fred died The Foundation has restored sight to well over one million people in the developing world. By forcing down the price of equipment and introducing modern surgical techniques, The Foundation has reduced the cost of cataract surgery to as little as $25 in some developing countries.
Brendon Hulcombe, Director, Herron Todd White is a member of the Queensland Fundraising and Advisory Committee of The Foundation. Brendon was first drawn to The Foundation after seeing the ABC's Australian Story 15 years ago outlining Hollows' life and dedication to his work. Herron Todd White are proud to support this worthwhile cause.
