The Give Big for Redland event on Thursday September 3 is giving the local community a wonderful chance to contribute to healthcare in their own backyard, with every donation to Redland Hospital doubled for 24 hours only.
It’s one of five campaigns running across the Metro South Health region, alongside sister campaigns for the Princess Alexandra, QEII Jubilee, Logan and Beaudesert hospitals. A $25 gift on September 3 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100, and $100 becomes $200, doubling the impact of every dollar given to Redland Hospital.
Redland Hospital Fund Community Partnerships Manager Ellen Dann said the day was a chance for the Redland community to show its support for their local hospital and health service.
“We’re really hoping the Redland community gets behind this day and shows the same generosity they always do when it comes to supporting their local hospital,” Ms Dann said.
“For one day only, every gift is doubled, so it’s the perfect time to give if you’ve been thinking about saying thank you for your care at Redland Hospital or that of a loved one.”
“Every dollar raised on the day goes towards research, patient care, equipment and staff education right here at Redland Hospital,” Ms Dann said.
“It all adds up to better outcomes for patients, and gives our clinicians, nurses, allied health teams and researchers the support they need to keep providing first class care to our community.”
Ms Dann said the Foundation was encouraging past patients, donors, and the broader community to dig deep and give big on the day.
“Whether it’s a gift of $25 or $250, every donation makes a huge difference to patient outcomes and helps get people home sooner to their loved ones from a hospital stay,” she said.
As well as donating online, the community can drop into the Redland Hospital foyer between 8:00am and 4:00pm on the day, where Foundation staff and volunteers will be running a donation table.
