It really does take a village to provide the care that we do at Waipuna Hospice. The help we receive from our wider community helps us tremendously and allows us to focus on the care that our patients and families need.
Over the past three months, kind individuals and companies have hosted events and fundraisers with the goal of raising funds for Waipuna Hospice. We want to acknowledge and give huge thanks to BAMFIT Gym who raised funds via a Give-a-Little page and participated in the City to Surf run, BNI Tauranga Harbour who held a comedy night and live auction, BNI Tauranga Moana who hosted a spooky bowls tournament, the NZMCA who hosted a charity auction, and Absolute Weights and Fitness Gym for organising a fun day.
Also, Toi-Ohomai Aquatic and Fitness Centre who ran an 8-week challenge which included their FUNraising Day, Bay Events who let us collect at the BOP Home & Outdoors Show, Z Bethlehem for their Good in the Hood fundraiser, The Omokoroa Country Estate for their fundraising breakfast, and Kate Williams and the team for organising the Aunt Daisy High Tea party. Collectively, these fundraisers have raised just over $23,700 for Waipuna Hospice!
We want to express our utmost gratitude for the support of all our fundraisers. It is hard to put into words how much your support means to us, our patients, and their families, but know it is immense. We couldn’t do it without you.
If you are reading this and feel inspired to do something similar, we would love to hear from you. Let your imagination go wild, or contact us for ideas by emailing fundraising@waipunahospice.org.nz.
