Hospice Launches “Challenge”
The Toowoomba Hospice has officially launched the Annual Darling Downs Free Dress Challenge for 2010! At the Launch, Hospice Chairman Mr Graham Barron OAM encouraged all businesses, clubs, organisations and schools to have a free dress day during the months of May and June to raise funds for the Toowoomba Hospice, “these funds will assist the daily operations of this important community facility providing palliative and respite care for all ages” The organisers of the Challenge have taken a slightly different angle this year with running the Challenge over a two month period instead of one week Mr. Barron said “This gives the businesses, clubs, organisations and schools a wider time frame to hold their free dress day. We would like to raise at least $5000 from this fundraiser.” A Digital Camera, DVD Player and Photographic Portraits are up for grabs for whoever raises the most money. To make it fair for all, especially the ones with a smaller number of participants, the organisers will divide the total money raised to obtain an average per person. L to R – Grant Reid, Kristy Jackson, Charlie Voss & Andrew McLintock from Downs Financial Services joined Mark Munro from the Toowoomba Hospice at the Launch of the Darling Downs Free Dress Challenge. Intending participants can contact Mark Munro, on 07 46598500 OR email admin.toowoombahospice@bigpond.com to register their business, club, organisation or school. Continue reading

Annual Hospice Car Park Sale
L to R: Mark Munro and Alicia Trimingham-Turl from the Toowoomba Hospice look over some of the items that have been donated for the Car park Sale this Saturday whilst Mr Norm Jenner, car park sale co-ordinator keeps a close eye on them! Toowoomba Hospice will be holding its annual Car Park Sale on Saturday 6th February, from 6.00am till 11am. Organiser Mr Norm Jenner said the Hospice relies heavily on the community spirit to raise the much needed funds to serve our local community. “I am inviting the community to come on Saturday and make a donation by purchasing items that we have been given to sell. At 8am there will be an auction of interesting and unusual items. The location will be in the main Car Park at the Hospice, corner of 5th Avenue and O’Quinn St, Harristown. Mr. Jenner also encourages the community to donate items for the Car Park Sale. “If you have items that you would like to donate to the Hospice Garage Sale please drop them in to the Hospice Admin office during office hours this week by Friday Morning. However if you have large items can you please drop them off on the Saturday morning of the Car Park sale (Saturday 6th February) between 5.30am and 7am as our storage is very limited. ” Mr. Jenner wanted to reassure all those who support the Car Park Sale that all the money stays here “The Hospice is a Local Charity and I am very proud to say that the money raised locally stays locally. Our operational purchases also support local businesses, companies and individuals on the Downs” Mr. Jenner added that what ever isn’t sold by 11am Saturday will be donated to Life Line to sell in their shops. “I am more than happy to let another charity have what is left so they too can benefit” Mark Munro Promotions and Fundraising Manager Toowoomba Hospice 57b O’Quinn St Toowoomba Qld 4350 07 46598500 Continue reading
