The money raised for Kids of Macarthur at the recent Macarthur Mayors charity dinner event will go towards advanced paediatric equipment, including new ultrasound technology, at Campbelltown Hospital.
The night – which raised $75,000 – was hosted by the Mayors of Camden, Campbelltown and Wollondilly to support local charity the Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation.
Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation chairman Bruce Hanrahan thanked the three mayors.
“I extend my sincere thanks to the Mayors of Camden, Campbelltown and Wollondilly for uniting our community behind such a meaningful cause,” he said.
“The Macarthur Mayors charity dinner was a fitting celebration of Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation’s 25 years of improving children’s health in our region. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, guests and the three councils, an outstanding amount was raised.’’
Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said the success of the event demonstrated how deeply the community values supporting local children and families.
“It was inspiring to see the Macarthur community come together in a strong show of generosity and regional pride at the event,’’ Mayor Fedeli said.
“These funds will translate into real, practical benefits for our local hospitals and the children who rely on them. A big congratulations to everyone involved.”
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Darcy Lound, said he was proud that the event had raised such significant funds.
“Kids of Macarthur have done a tremendous job supporting families and children for the past 25 years, and they’ve made a real difference to healthcare services across our region,” Mayor Lound said.
“I want to thank everyone who generously supported this wonderful event. I’m proud to have joined forces with our neighbouring councils to achieve such a fantastic result for Kids of Macarthur.
“This is a great example of what can be achieved when we work together on collective initiatives that impact all communities and support the whole Macarthur region.”
