Good eggs for Good Friday Appeal

This Easter, Woolworths is encouraging customers to help provide the best possible care for kids in hospital by donating to the Easter Fundraising Appeal in support of The Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

Funds raised will help the Good Friday Appeal support initiatives at The Royal Children’s Hospital like the Comfort Kids Program, the Hospital’s in-house television program, and Child Life Therapy Programs.

Running in-store and online until  April 19, customers at Woolworths Cowes can support this endeavour by simply adding a $2 Easter egg-shaped token to their shopping or by making a Round Up donation at Woolworths self-service check-outs.

Woolworths Group Manager, Jaimie Nash said: “Our commitment to the Good Friday Appeal has spanned 35 years now and thanks to the support of the Bass Coast Shire community we have been able to provide support to more than 300,000 children in need in the last year alone.

“The Easter Fundraising Appeal is a great example of how working together as a community we can collectively make a big difference to the lives of many kids and families across Victoria.”

Executive Director of the Good Friday Appeal, Rebecca Cowan said: “This year, the Appeal is proud to celebrate a milestone anniversary with Woolworths, who are celebrating their 35th year of supporting the Good Friday Appeal with more than $24 million raised during this period.

This year, in addition to the Easter Fundraising Appeal, Woolworths has also teamed up with Josh’s Rainbow Eggs in conjunction with Chocolatier Australia, to produce chocolate eggs to support the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

For every Josh’s Rainbow Easter egg sold, an additional 50c will be donated to The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
