Big Donation for Child Health from Countdown
Today the Countdown Kids
Hospital Appeal presented Northland DHB with a cheque for
more than $87,000, following their best campaign since the
appeal began in 2007.
This is a welcome donation from the Countdown Kids Hospital Appeal and is thanks to hundreds of contributions from customers to help change the lives of sick Kiwi kids, and means the purchase of much-needed children’s medical equipment.
Since it began in 2007, in total, the Countdown Kids Hospital Appeal has raised $6.92 million nationally.
Hundreds of fundraising events, organised by Countdown team members, suppliers and local district health boards, were held over three months between August and October.
