For more than fifteen years, the Watts family has brought their community together through golf days and high teas, raising over $919,000 to initially support the Leukaemia Foundation then Mater Little Miracles. Their efforts have helped fund lifesaving equipment for the tiniest and most vulnerable babies in the Neonatal Critical Care Unit at Mater Hospital. 

In recent years, guided by Jack’s own strength and determination, the family shifted their focus to honouring his legacy. In November 2024, they held the first Jack Watts Legacy Golf Day, raising more than $103,000 and the second event in August 2025 raised a further $105,000. These events directly supported the establishment and ongoing work of Mater’s Rare Cancer Hub, which connects people diagnosed with rare cancers to clinical trials that may otherwise be out of reach. 

In its first year alone, the Rare Cancer Hub launched four clinical trials. Two patients enrolled in one of these trials have advanced cancers with no remaining standard treatment options. Thanks to supporters like you, they now have access to a potential new therapy — and most importantly, hope.
