Blue449 has raised $67,864 for Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation as part of its corporate social responsibility program, Spark.

This money will go to towards the funding of much needed equipment for the hospital.

“Blue 449 staff at all levels are engaged in using their initiatives to lead fundraising with innovation, creativity and enthusiasm and the team are clearly motivated by the impact they have through their fundraising efforts. The funds raised to give back to the hospital has been phenomenal,” Blue449 MD Duncan Parfitt said.

Yesterday a group from Blue 449 were invited to attend a day at the hospital as part of SCH’s 12 Days of Christmas.

This allowed them to see first-hand how their donations are positively affecting the children’s lives. The program included a day of volunteering, interacting and taking part in activities with patients, staff and families.

Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation head of partnerships Nicky Bowie thanked Blue449 and other partners for raising a collective $250k this Christmas.

“The support we receive from our 12 days of Christmas campaign from our Corporate partners is invaluable not just because of the funds raised which are spent on much needed critical equipment for the hospital, but also because of the joy the volunteer activity program brings to kids and families," she said.

"By spreading festive cheer, Blue 449 are providing much needed distraction fun and laughter to young patients and their families which is an essential part of the healing process."
