Lunch raises $411,000
MORE than $400,000 has been raised at the fifth annual Trinity Advisory Christmas charity lunch for the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation’s ‘Donate for DaNi’ campaign.
The achievement of $411,000 surpasses previous records, including the $230,000 raised in 2022 and the $405,000 milestone reached in 2023, underscoring the event’s growing impact and the community’s unwavering commitment to enhancing local health care services.
Lunch hosts Trinity Advisory owners and directors Rod and Sue Sherrington said they were “overwhelmed by the generosity of our clients and sponsors”.
“Their support has been instrumental in achieving this record-breaking result, bringing the total raised over the past five years to $1,272,000,” they said.
The Donate for DaNi campaign aims to secure $4.3 million to acquire a state-of-the-art surgical robot for Cairns Hospital, enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes.
Trinity Advisory and their clients’ latest effort means the campaign has now raised more than half the total needed in less than 12 months.
Foundation chief executive officer Gina Hogan said the event’s success brought the community significantly closer to the goal.
