The Stan Perron Charitable Foundation was established in 1978 to support a range of charitable causes especially those related to the health and wellbeing of Western Australian children. In creating one of the first foundations of its type in Western Australia, Mr Perron always made it clear that his inspiration was his own childhood of hardship and struggle. Enduring the struggles of the depression years on the Western Australian goldfields, the story of Stan Perron is one of a man who quite literally lifted himself from rags to riches through hard work, sheer will, vision and business acumen.
