Our 2024 Fundraiser
Quiz Night at “Sprig + Fern” in Petone – October 2024
Thanks to the generous support of the “Sprig + Fern” in Petone, we were able to do some fundraising by being their host charity for each of the five Tuesdays in October 2024.
We are so happy with how each evening went. A massive thank you to David and Kristen who alternated being quiz MC each week, and to all the regular Sprig + Fern quiz-goers plus family and friends who came along in support.
We are very grateful to the generous people and businesses who donated either vouchers or items for our raffle.
With quiz registration and raffle entries we managed to raise nearly $3000 over the 5 weeks which was stunning for us.
We have already put some of that money to good use by purchasing 3 much-needed breast milk pumps for the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at Hutt Hospital which cares for premature babies and those needing additional care. These were delivered to the maternity ward on Friday 29th November 2024.
We are also excited that the funds will allow us to continue providing grants to new graduate community midwives who choose to practice as LMC midwives in the Hutt Community. For those applying and starting in the Hutt as an LMC 2025 we will be offering grants to purchase vital, expensive equipment so that they can successfully set up their practice rooms.
