Thank you for taking on the 2024 Dry July challenge and supporting Calvary Mater Newcastle. A fabulous total of $29,983.13 was raised thanks to Dry Julyers support.
This has enabled the hospital to fund projects and equipment that assist our patients, their families and carers, toward a more comfortable experience during and following their cancer treatment. We are extremely grateful for your fundraising efforts and dedication.
Calvary Mater Newcastle was able to purchase the following items and projects:
• New assistive equipment and pressure care items for the hospital’s Oncology Loan Pool Equipment.
• Refresh/renovate the Ward 5B (Oncology) family waiting room
• Mercy Hospice Arts Health ‘Changeable Art Installation’ - Promoting Connection through Legacy Creation, Meaning Making and Story Telling for patients living with cancer and other life limiting illness and their families
• Caring in the Metaverse: Mercy Hospice Mixed Reality Project for Cancer Patients and their Carers – the purchase of two virtual reality headsets for patients and carers to experience ‘world travel’ and ‘relaxation’
On behalf of all the patients and staff at Calvary Mater Newcastle, we would like to thank you for your support and contribution to making a positive difference in the lives of people affected by cancer.
The impact your dedication and generosity has had by participating in Dry July cannot be underestimated.
Thank you.
