Superhero Day for IDFA

Be a Hero for Children Living with Immunodeficiencies

Turn your school’s next dress-up day into something truly meaningful.

Superhero Day for IDFA is a fun and easy fundraising event that helps support children and families living with primary and secondary immunodeficiency (PID) – serious, often lifelong conditions that affect the immune system.

Simply choose a date that suits your school, invite students to dress as their favourite superhero (or create their own!), and ask each participant to bring a gold coin donation.

Why Superhero Day?

The day is inspired by IDFA’s children’s book What Does Brave Feel Like?, where two children receiving hospital treatments wear superhero capes as a symbol of courage, resilience and finding strength during difficult times.

For many children living with immune disorders, everyday activities like attending school can be a challenge. By taking part, your school will help raise awareness, inspire empathy, and provide vital support for Australians living with immune disorders.

How it works
1. Choose a date that fits your school calendar.
2. Students dress as superheroes (or enjoy a mufti day).
3. Collect a gold coin donation (or optional sponsorships).
4. Celebrate your students for making a real difference.
