Corporate wrap-up
The start of 2024 has seen a rush of corporate support for the WCH Foundation.
A number of our corporate partners have run campaigns that have allowed the community to show their support for women, children and families cared for by the Women’s and Children’s Health Network.
Check out the work of these amazing organisations!
BIG W
BIG W held an Easter token campaign that raised $23,000 to support a dedicated breastfeeding space in the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
Customers could purchase a bunny token to be added to the wall of their local store.
The company also donated chocolate bunnies to help patients celebrate Easter in the Hospital.
Coles and Hospitals United for Sick Kids
Customers could purchase a $2 donation card at the checkout of Coles stores to help sick kids get back home to the things they miss.
Money raised in South Australia and the Northern Territory will go towards our Cocoon Program – a dedicated clinic for babies under 12 months old who are in, or at risk of entering, foster care.
Costco
Costco held three VIP non-member shopping nights again this year.
For a donation upon entry, anyone who was not already a Costco member could experience a shopping spree at the Adelaide store.
Existing members could also donate by purchasing a token at the checkout.
ANZ
We were thrilled to be this year’s charity host for the ANZ Community Ball.
The night was great fun and raised over $200,000 for a host of local charities, including the WCH Foundation, Guide Dogs SA, Lifeline SA, Childhood Cancer Association of SA and Cure4CF.
Bunnings
Bunnings held a statewide community sausage sizzle as part of their Easter Family Night that raised over $6,000. The company then made an additional donation, which brought the total to $7,500 which will support children and families in our community.
Trading Metals
For another year, Trading Metals has generously donated a portion of proceeds from their scrap metal business, providing around $25,000 again over the past year.
