Thanks to a group of generous matching donors, every gift made to the Logan Hospital Fund on Thursday 3 September will be doubled for 24 hours only, giving the Logan community a wonderful chance to contribute to healthcare in their own backyard.
This year the Fund is aiming to raise $5000 in a single day, and with matching funds in place a $25 gift on September 3 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100 and $100 becomes $200, doubling the impact of every dollar given while matching funds last. Give Big for Logan is one of five campaigns running across the Metro South Health region on the day, alongside sister campaigns for the Princess Alexandra, QEII Jubilee, Beaudesert and Redland hospitals.
Logan Hospital Fund Community Partnerships Manager Ellen Dann said the day was a chance for the Logan community to show its support for their local hospital and health service.
“We’re really hoping that the Logan community gets behind this day and shows the same generosity they always do when it comes to supporting their local hospital,” Ms Dann said.
“On September 3, every gift is doubled, so it’s the perfect time to give if you’ve been thinking about saying thank you for your care at Logan Hospital or that of a loved one.”
“Every dollar raised on the day goes towards advancing research, enabling patient care projects, purchasing cutting edge equipment and staff education initiatives here at Logan Hospital,” Ms Dann said.
“It all adds up to better outcomes for patients, and gives our clinicians, nurses, allied health teams and researchers greater support to keep providing first class care to our Logan community.”
Ms Dann said the Fund was encouraging past patients and their families, donors, and the broader community to dig deep and give big on the day.
“Whether it’s a gift of $25 or $50, every donation makes a huge difference to patient outcomes and helps get people home sooner to their loved ones from a hospital stay.”
Logan Hospital Fund staff will be running a donation table in the Logan Hospital foyer between 8am and 2pm. Donations can also be made online at any point throughout the 24 hours.
