A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported Bandaged Bear DayTM 2010!
This year's Bandaged Bear Day was dedicated to the theme "When I grow up I want to be a grown-up" in honour of our brave patients who just want the chance to grow up. Thanks to your generosity we are able to grant their wish - to grow up and enjoy their own 21st Birthday and continue on to fulfill their childhood ambitions.
Thank to the generosity and support for the community Bandaged Bear Day 2010 was again a success. Bandaged Bear Day has raised over $557,500 for the sick kids at The Children's Hospital at Westmead and funds are still continuing to come in. This is a true testament to our supporters, thank you! Bandaged Bear Day also wouldn't have been possible without the 350 fantactic volunteers took to the streets on Friday 26th March, covering 61 shopping centre and train stations across Sydney and other parts of NSW, well done!
The "when I grow up I want to be..." poll clocked 694 votes during the appeal, with 31% of supporters dreaming of becoming rockstars when they grow up, followed Teachers and Doctors who tied for second. Thank you to our supporters who participated in the poll.
Thank you again for supporting The Children's Hospital at Westmead and Bandaged Bear Day.
Please note volunteer applications and merchandise orders are no longer being taken.
