The Fred Hollows Foundation

welcomes its first patron in the US

The Foundation has a strong footprint globally, and a growing presence in the US. That is why having H.E. The Hon. Arthur Sinodinos AO, Australia’s Ambassador to The United States of America, lend his support as our first American patron is a significant milestone. 

Our founder Professor Fred Hollows was vocal in his campaign to end avoidable blindness, and was joined by many like-minded advocates throughout his life.

Today, our supporters are spread across the globe, but they all have one thing in common – our commitment to restoring sight to some of the most marginalised people in the world.

That's why having Ambassador Sinodinos as our first patron in the US is so significant.


"I'm proud to be The Fred Hollows Foundation’s very first Patron in America and to support them in the United States as another sign of our strong bilateral ties.

"The Foundation is an iconic charity and wonderful example of Australian innovation, with a growing presence in the U.S.

"With a vision of a world where no one is needlessly blind or vision impaired, The Foundation is tackling the world's largest unaddressed health issue – poor vision – with large scale, transformative interventions designed to restore sight to millions.

"Australia's culture of mateship and our shared values are core to the relationship with the USA. Together we are great allies who advance solutions to the world's biggest problems.

"By supporting effective humanitarian causes, like ending avoidable blindness, together we are building on the tradition of mateship that binds our two great nations," said Ambassador Sinodinos.
