Where does the money raised go?
HATW has committed to the continuing support of the orphanage. We are now working towards raising funds for a weekend activity program not only for the children who live at the home, but also for the children who use the facility as day visitors. A new dream of Peter’s is to fund university scholarships for some of the older children living at the orphanage who wish to further their studies. There are many worthwhile projects currently under consideration by the HATW Board. Annual visits to the orphanage by members of HATW Australia (privately funded of course) provide the regular communication required to stay abreast of current needs and ongoing projects that we can assist with. TOP What percentage of money donated actually goes to the orphanage?
All proceeds raised from the sale of Bandaged Bear Day merchandise and the donation of funds from events and personal donations go directly to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. The funds are directed to the areas of the Hospital most in need at the time. Every dollar we receive goes directly toward supporting the amazing work done at the Hospital and ultimately impacts directly on the lives of sick kids and their families.
