SUPERMARKET giant Coles has partnered with national alliance Hospitals United for Sick Kids to launch an Australia-wide fundraising campaign, supporting children in hospitals and their families.
These initiatives include helping hospitals, paediatric services and foundations to buy state-of-the-art medical equipment, upgrading children's areas and expanding 'Hospital in the Home' services.
From now until 23 Apr, Coles will donate 50c from every Cucina Matese pasta variety product sold in-store and online to Hospitals United for Sick Kids.
Coles also offers ongoing support to the organisation through its Mum's Sause range year-round, by donating 50c from every pasta and pizza sold to the charity.
Customers can also purchase a $2 donation card at a Coles checkout.
In addition, Coles suppliers Swisse Wellness and Arnott's are supporting the campaign.
The brands will donate 50 cents to Hospitals United for every purchase of a Swisse Vitamins product, 15 pack of Tiny Teddy Biscuits or 15 pack of Arnott's Shapes.
"This year's fundraising campaign at Coles enables more Australians to support Hospitals United for Sick Kids by making small changes to their shopping, like choosing a Mum's Sause pizza sauce or a Cucina Matese pasta," said Hospitals United for Sick Kids Chief Executive Officer Nicky Bowie.
"The projects funded through this year's fundraising efforts will help support thousands of families across Australia and we hope customers can get behind their local initiatives by purchasing a participating pasta product, Mum's Sause or a $2 donation card."
This year's appeal will support The Common Good in Queensland, the Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation; the John Hunter Children's Hospital in Newcastle; Perth Children's Hospital Foundation; Canberra Hospital Foundation; Monash Children's Hospital in Victoria; Women's & Children's Hospital Foundation in South Australia and the Royal Hobart Hospital Women's and Children's Services.
