Shorts4Hospice

Amandeep from Waipuna Hospice

The days are getting colder, which means it’s nearly time to bare the legs in support of Waipuna Hospice.

Why should you wear shorts for Hospice?
As a charity, all of our services are provided at no cost to the patients and their family, but to be able to do this and support our local community we need to raise over $3.7 million per year.
Shorts4Hospice is one way we can raise funds and ask for donations in a fun and inclusive way. Every dollar raised from Shorts4Hospice goes towards enabling our team of nurses, doctors, social workers, counsellors and volunteers to ensure we provide the highest standard of palliative care services within our community.

How it works
Friday 21 June is the day when we ask you, your friends and colleagues to wear shorts in support of Waipuna Hospice.

Life is short – make it count!
