Shimmi for Immi: A night to shine and remember

A Night to Shine and Remember: Shimmi for Immi Raises $18,677

On 4th April, Jarmers Kitchen was filled with love, laughter, and heartfelt memories as 200 friends, family, and supporters gathered to honour Imogen on what would have been her 21st birthday.

Hosted by Imogen’s family—Kate, Paul, Oliver, and Him-Him—Shimmi for Immi was a beautiful celebration of her life and legacy. Through raffles, a silent auction, and generous donations, the event raised an incredible $18,677 in support of vital paediatric neurosurgical research.

These funds will go directly to the NRF, supporting research aimed at improving treatment and outcomes for children living with brain tumours and other neurological conditions.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and contributed items for the Silent Auction and Raffle. This night was not only a fundraising success, but also a powerful reflection of community spirit, shared purpose, and love.

At the NRF, we are continually inspired by the impact of community-led events like this. Shimmi for Immi was truly a night to shine and remember, and a heartfelt reminder of the difference we can make—together.

If you missed the event and would still like to contribute, you can make a late donation here.
