Supporting The Children’s Hospital Foundation for more than 30 years

The Children’s Hospital Foundation was established in 1985 and funds cutting-edge equipment, vital research and on the ground support for kids with all illnesses, injuries and conditions, throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales. Woolworths has been supporting the Children’s Hospital Foundation since 1986. The partnership began when Woolworths executive Reg Clairs toured the children’s hospital and realised the help our sick kids needed. The inaugural campaign raised more than $739,000 thanks to Woolworths team members and customers.

Since then, Woolworths stores across Queensland and Northern New South Wales have raised more than $65 million.

This incredible achievement has funded life saving 3D surgical navigation equipment, developed meningococcal diagnosis tools, and provided multiple on the ground support services at Queensland Children’s Hospital and statewide, amongst many innovative and groundbreaking initiatives.

Lyndsey Rice, CEO of The Children’s Hospital Foundation said “Without the unwavering support from Woolworths and their customers over the past 30 years, the Children’s Hospital Foundation simply could not have done what we do for sick kids across Queensland. Woolworths continue to show how much they care.”
