Key examples of how Health Fund PLUS has helped:
Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre
For several years Northland Community Foundation focused on completing the huge task of working with the community to raise $3 million through the ‘Project Promise’ appeal to build the Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre for Northland. This goal was achieved through the wonderful support of individuals, families, service groups, businesses and organisations.
The Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre opened in November 2014. It’s not too late to give. A donation to the Cancer Treatment Centre or any other part of Te Whatu Ora health service could be your way to say ‘thank you’.
‘Buy a Brick’ To Support Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre
The BNZ Community Wall inside the Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre was part of the Project Promise fundraising programme. More than 400 bricks were sold during the campaign.
The “Pohutukawa Donor Tree” inside the Jim Carney Cancer and Blood Services Treatment Centre leads on from the 'Buy a Brick' fundraising campaign. Now that the Centre is built, and the brick wall is complete, leaves for the Pohutukawa Tree are available for purchase at $1000 each. Donated funds go towards supporting the ongoing work and extra 'nice to haves' at the Centre.
