THE Frankston Hospital Pink Ladies Auxiliary has raised more than $100,000 for the hospital in less than six months.
The group has raised the money since reopening its kiosk in May following two years of COVID-19 interruptions. Pink Ladies president Carole Thwaites said, “I can’t believe we’ve been able to raise that much in a short amount of time.”
Peninsula Health chief executive Felicity Topp said the donation was welcomed, and that having the Pink Ladies back up and running was a huge positive for the hospital.
“The Pinkies were greatly missed, by our patients, visitors, contractors and staff,” Topp said. “We are so happy to have you all back, and the kiosk open once again.
“When people come to Frankston Hospital, it may be one of the best or most difficult days of their lives. I’d like to thank the Pinkies for always being compassionate, caring and kind when interacting with our community.”
The Pink Ladies were established in 1968. To learn about how to get involved contact Peninsula Health volunteer program manager Helen Wilson on 9784 2674.
