THE Sunshine Coast NightOwl community will turn their small change into a large difference for sick Queensland kids like six-year-old Patrick Fleming, supporting the Children’s Hospital Foundation as part of their inaugural OwlGood fundraising campaign.
For the first time, customers across NightOwl’s three stores in the Sunshine Coast can grab their daily essentials and support the Children’s Hospital Foundation on check-out through the purchase of a wall token for $2.
All funds raised will help kids like Patrick, who was born with multiple joint deformities and has undergone ongoing plaster casting of his torso and legs and faced many surgeries since birth.
Originally from Katherine in the Northern Territory, the family relocated to the Sunshine Coast in January 2021 – and Patrick’s intense treatment schedule at Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane has been made easier through the support of the Children’s Hospital Foundation.
NightOwl Convenience National Marketing Manager, Glenys Tristram is thrilled to announce the first of its kind partnership with the Children’s Hospital Foundation, to support sick and injured kids in the community.
“We are so excited to give back to the community and some of our state’s sickest kids through our partnership with the Children’s Hospital Foundation – the first of its kind for NightOwl,” Ms Tristram said. Children’s Hospital Foundation CEO, Lyndsey Rice said the support will help the not-for-profit continue to change the outcomes for sick kids in hospital.
“We are incredibly honoured that Children’s Hospital Foundation was chosen to be the nominated charity for the inaugural NightOwl OwlGood fundraising campaign,” Ms Rice said.
