Total funds generated by Wishlist’s fundraising efforts this year totalled $858,300. While this figure is short of last years efforts, it is a very positive result. Revenue generated from Nambour Hospital’s car park exceeded last year by nearly 15%, resulting in profits from the carpark up by $70,000. Net proceeds from the carpark, interest income and sale of obsolete district equipment more than covered the Wishlist’s operating expenses with excess funds of $260,000 available to be attributed to our $937,000 spend on District needs. $114,000 was raised by two major events set to feature prominently on the Coast’s social calendar each year, the Wishlist Spring Carnival Gala and Exclusive 300 Club Melbourne Cup function. We’re very grateful to the committees of these outstanding events, comprised of the Coast’s most influential and generous business people, for not only the financial gain created by their work but the priceless opportunities created for our organisation each time we’re given the chance to showcase our wide range of causes to the community. Westpac has embraced the new alliance and the team’s enthusiasm for the opportunities that lie ahead for our organisations and the Coast community is increasingly evident with every business networking and promotional opportunity they create. Reed Charity House continues to support Nambour Hospital, an outstanding example of what can be achieved by a proactive and generous community. We thank the Australian Red Cross and their many volunteers for managing the accommodation facility and ensuring it’s impact on our operations is minimal. We continue to fundraise for the ramp linking the
