FUNDRAISE

Fundraise for Toowoomba Hospital Foundation

Fundraising is one of the most powerful, enjoyable, and rewarding ways you can make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families.

Lemonade stand helps fund VR Goggles

Last year, 8-year-old William Cook turned lemons into lemonade (quite literally) to help raise $722 to go towards the purchase of VR Goggles to provide much-needed distraction to sick kids spending time in Toowoomba Hospital Paediatrics Unit.

William hosted a lemonade stand near his home welcoming his local community to purchase a refreshing drink, and this year the Foundation invited William and his Mum to the hospital to see the fruits of his labour.

“We can’t thank William and his family enough it’s just been wonderful to have such a young fellow put his heart and soul into fundraising and gifting us this great device.”

Jill, Toowoomba Hospital Paediatrics Nurse
