A COMMITMENT BEYOND CRAFT

Because nothing is more precious than the life of a child.

OUR PURPOSE

Since 2017, J Farren-Price has proudly supported Children’s Cancer Institute and the important work of its world-leading Zero Childhood Cancer Program (ZERO). This precision medicine program is driven by one clear mission: to find a cure for every child with cancer.

As a father himself, Julian Farren-Price is deeply committed to supporting this goal. He is not alone in the belief that every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy and live a full life.

ZERO: A LIFE SHOULD BE LONG

A future where every child can grow up and grow old.

Children’s Cancer Institute is at the forefront of childhood cancer research in Australia. Through ZERO, precision medicine is transforming the way childhood cancers are diagnosed and treated through tailoring therapies to each child’s unique cancer profile.

Since its national clinical trial began in 2017, ZERO has provided hope to children with cancer, enrolling over 3000 young patients across Australia and collaborating with leading national and international research partners.

Today, ZERO is available to every child diagnosed with cancer in Australia. This is an extraordinary milestone in the journey towards a cure for all childhood cancers.

THE DIAMOND BALL

For many years, J Farren-Price has proudly supported the Diamond Ball, an annual fundraising event for Children’s Cancer Institute and ZERO. This remarkable evening brings generosity, artistry and shared purpose together, raising vital funds to advance life-saving research.

We are honoured to have been the presenting partner of the Diamond Ball since 2021, standing alongside an extraordinary community united by compassion and hope.

IMPACT, MADE POSSIBLE TOGETHER

A future where every child can grow up and grow old.

The generosity of our clients and community has led to extraordinary outcomes.

Over the years, Diamond Ball events have raised millions of dollars to support ZERO, with J Farren-Price and our clients contributing generously to this vital work. Each year, Julian also donates a special diamond necklace to the live auction, adding to the generosity that makes this evening so impactful.

In 2025, the Diamond Ball raised over $1.8 million, supporting both the continued advancement of ZERO and the opening of the Minderoo Children's Comprehensive Cancer Centre. A partnership between Children's Cancer Institute and Sydney Children's Hospital, this centre is the first of its kind in Australia bringing clinicians and researchers together under one roof. With world-class technology and over 900 specialists collaborating within the centre, it represents a new era of hope for children and families affected by cancer.

A PERSONAL COMMITMENT

“Being a father, there can be nothing more devastating than the loss of a child. I am fortunate in my life and in my work, and I believe deeply in giving back. We are privileged to work with clients whose generosity continues to humble me.”
— Julian Farren-Price

This philosophy sits at the heart of our long-standing support for Children's Cancer Institute. It is a commitment shared by our team, clients, and community - and one we are profoundly grateful to continue.

LOOKING FORWARD

Each year, progress is made. Each year, more children are given time, treatment, and hope.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every individual who has supported this cause, whether through attending the Diamond Ball, contributing to an auction, or making a personal donation. Together, we move closer to a future where childhood cancer is no longer a life-defining diagnosis.
