Dael Perlov, one of the founding partners of Lifestyle Communities®, passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2014. In his honour, we established the Lifestyle Communities® Foundation to support fundraising for cancer-based charities. Each financial year, Lifestyle Communities® tops up the Lifestyle Communities® Foundation with the equivalent of $50 for each home open in our communities.

In the 2023 financial year, we’re pleased to announce enormous growth in homeowner fundraising efforts and Lifestyle Communities® Foundation dollar matching with homeowners raising $160,000 and the Foundation contributing $160,000 for a total of $320,000 reaching cancer-based charities and organisations. Since the program started a total of over $1.4 million has been donated.

Lifestyle Communities® Foundation is especially delighted to support PanKind, The Australian Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, by donating $2 on behalf of each of our homeowners, marked simply and meaningfully by an annual birthday card. As our communities continue to grow, we enjoy seeing this amount increase year-on-year as more homeowners move in to join us. In the 2023 financial year we’re proud to announce that this effort resulted in a $8,000 donation to support the crucial work of PanKind in pancreatic cancer research and awareness-raising.
