Welcome to The Eli Chatfield Foundation
We are proud to welcome you to The Eli Chatfield Foundation — a charity created in honour of Eli Chatfield (2005–2020), a much-loved son, brother, friend, and teammate from Batemans Bay.
Eli was kind, funny, fiercely loyal, and loved by everyone who knew him. He had a passion for sport, animals, and life itself. In 2017, Eli was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour called medulloblastoma. Despite surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, he passed away in April 2020, surrounded by his family.
The Eli Chatfield Foundation was created to continue Eli’s legacy of kindness, strength, and community spirit. Our mission is simple:
💛 Support families facing childhood brain cancer
🎗 Raise awareness within the community
🔬 Fund vital research for better treatments and outcomes
This website will be our home for resources, updates, and news about our events and fundraising efforts. We invite you to join us on this journey — by learning, sharing, and supporting in whatever way you can.
Together, we can make a difference.
