Woolworths have been wonderful supporters of the Good Friday Appeal for over 37 years, with their teams and customers engaged in fundraising to make a difference to kids in hospital.

Thank you to Woolworths teams and customers for raising $1,316,507. The Woolworths teams organised fundraising activities and events throughout the year, including token sales at registers, AFL Premiership Poster sales, and a Run for the Kids team. Plus, they supplied 6 WISH Gift Cards for the Good Friday Appeal Raffle and held the popular Woolworths Fresh Fair at Kids Day Out.⁣

Woolworths has now raised over $28.5 million since 1987. Woolworths contributions to the Appeal continue to fund important initiatives at The Royal Children’s Hospital like the Comfort Kids Program, Be Positive TV, and Child Life Therapy Programs. These programs provide positive experiences to patients and help minimise distress for all children during their hospital stays.
