Phantom Tea & Wine

Phantom Tea & Wine and Year-End Giving comprise Chromosome 18’s most important fundraiser of the year, and it’s easy to get involved!

This virtual “phantom” tea and wine celebration has been a tradition at Chromosome 18 for over 25 years for our families and friends. As the year comes to a close, we ask our members to make a year-end gift through one of many different ways we have available for you to give.

Celebrating World Chromosome 18 Day Around the World!

In the lead up to World Chromosome 18 Day, Brisbane City Council, Australia will light up landmarks around Brisbane to support Chromosome 18. For families in Brisbane on Thursday 28th November, come along and celebrate! We will meet at the Riverside Green, Southbank where we will view the Victoria Bridge as it lights up. For families wanting to see the lights on the Story Bridge, we will ride the CityCat along the river at dusk. Other landmarks to be lit up are the Breakfast Creek Bridge, Reddacliff Place sculptures, and the Wickham Terrace car park architectural wall.

Welcome to the Chromosome 18 Family!
