Rotary supports paediatric patients
We extend our heartfelt thanks to North Shore Rotary for their continued generosity and dedication to supporting North Shore Hospital. Through the proceeds of their 2024 charity golf day, Drive 4 Life, the club has made a vital contribution to the health and wellbeing of our community’s youngest patients.
The funds raised have enabled the upgrade of five transport ventilators to support for transport of seriously unwell babies and children. These ventilators enable more seamless transport of paediatric patients between North Shore and Waitākere hospitals and transfer of the most unwell infants to Starship Hospital.
These ventilators are also used by flight crews where these state-of-the-art machines play a crucial role in delivering safe, continuous respiratory support to fragile new-borns and critically ill children during emergency transfers.
North Shore Rotary’s ‘Drive 4 Life’ Charity Golf Day event has been a cornerstone of community fundraising for over 20 years, raising more than half a million dollars. Of this, an impressive $272,000 has supported advancements at North Shore Hospital, enhancing care and improving outcomes for patients of all ages.
Thank you, North Shore Rotary, for your unwavering commitment to “service above self” and helping our hospitals provide care to those who need it most.
Special thanks also to the businesses who support the ‘Drive 4 Life’ Charity Golf event each year and the many individuals and teams who attend.
The 2025 ‘Drive 4 Life’ Charity Golf Day will be held at Waitematā Golf Course on Thursday 20 November. To register a team, sponsor the event or find out more, please email info@wellfoundation.org.nz.
