Give Big for the PA is officially OVER 🔚
Our target of $150,000 was SMASHED by lunchtime🥊
Thanks to our generous matching givers set a bonus goal of $230,000 and SMASHED THAT TOO! 😍
With everything done and dusted we're so thrilled to be sitting at a Grand total $308,745.45🏆

Thanks to every single person who gave BIG we more than DOUBLED our target.

That means an $300,000 plus for research, patient support projects, cutting edge equipment and staff education at the PA Hospital.
That means more hospital patients benefitting from improved outcomes and getting home sooner to those they love for years to come.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Give Big for the PA is still going but drumroll please... 🥁
Our target $150,000 SMASHED 🥊thanks to incredible teams and supporters like you!
With a BONUS $80,000 raised. 😍
Grand total $230,000 and counting! 🏆

What happens next is REALLY exciting.

With your help, there’ll be funds going into new research like Associate Prof Arutha Kulasinghe's work (story in the comments below). He’s found a completely different way to look at cancer tumours, using the latest technology to map them cell-by-cell. His work is opening the way to new approaches to destroying tumours.

We need to fund more of these great new ideas, right through to the point where they’re saving lives.

Thanks to everyone who gave BIG, we can also invest in the latest equipment in the hospital, and offer world-leading patient care.

Which means $230,000 raised will be transformed into a new treatment a patient needs, or support for their recovery. It becomes lives saved, and families staying together. Things that really matter.

And that’s when it becomes emotional. 💓
Thank you. You’ve made this a day to remember.

Our Give Big for the PA goal to raise $150,000 has officially been SMASHED! 🎊🥂🎈

If you’ve done your bit for Give Big for the PA, you’re the best. Thanks to you, there’s now even more funding going towards new treatments and cures, lifesaving hospital equipment, and world-leading patient care.

But if you haven’t yet had the chance to donate, you still can. That’s because we don’t want anyone to miss out on a chance to give a gift that will be DOUBLED. So, that means we’ve got a new goal of raising $230,000 👀

We’re calling this our GIVE BIGGER goal, and it’s only happening because so many amazing people like you want to Give Big for the PA.

Remember, every gift made today will be DOUBLED turning:
🔬 $50 into $100
💊 $75 into $150
🏥 $100 into $200

One thing hasn’t changed though – there’s still only about 20 hours to GIVE EVEN BIGGER for the PA.

So, let’s go! Donate now, share this post, and help make this a record-breaking Give Big for the PA.
givebigforthepa.org.au
Right now, we’re thinking about researchers like the PA’s Dr Ladwa (pictured in the comments), who is using immunotherapy to destroy cancer cells.

Associate Professor Rahul Ladwa ran the clinical trial that 27-year-old Taylor joined when it seemed all hope was lost. Her recovery has been close to miraculous. You can watch Taylor's story in the comments

I’d love to be able to tell researchers like A/Prof Ladwa that more funding is coming their way.

That’s what GIVING BIGGER for the PA could mean. So, let’s go! 💪

💌 BIG NEWS JUST IN 💌

At 8am this morning, we set out to raise $150,000 in just 24 hours. We’re over $75,000, which means we’ve already surpassed 50% of our goal!

What an amazing start!

If you’ve donated, thank you so much for your support 🤗 If you haven’t, now’s your chance!

www.givebigforthepa.org.au

Right now every donation will be DOUBLED, so donate today to
🔬 Turn $50 into $100
💊 Turn $75 into $150
🏥 Turn $100 into $200

Your gift today means **double the impact** going towards research to find new treatments and cures, much-needed hospital equipment, and vital patient care for patients like Ben (pictured in the comments).

Ben, 37, thought he was coming down with flu, but he ended up in the PA Hospital fighting for his life. He didn’t wake up for more than five weeks.

Support Give Big for the PA and help patients get the best possible care as they make their recovery. For Ben, this included using an in-bed cycle to rebuild his strength.
Just think of the effort it took 😰

Puts our challenge in a whole new perspective. So, let’s do this for Ben and everyone who needs the PA's help. 💪

⏰Did your alarm go off this morning? Because GIVE BIG for the PA is now LIVE 😱😱

The next 24 hours are critical!

Our goal is to raise $150,000 for vital research, lifesaving equipment, and patient care. It’s ambitious but we think with the power of our PA community, we can make it happen.

Today, every donation will doubled, which means:
🔬 $50 transforms into $100
💊 $75 transforms into $150
🏥 $100 transforms into $200

And every dollar gifted to the Foundation will mean DOUBLE the investment in these critical areas and improve patient outcomes at the PA. So, what do you say?

Help us kick off our Giving Day and GIVE BIG for the PA at www.givebigforthepa.org.au.

Your generosity today means everything to patients like Kristy. Her story is in the comments 👇
For 24 hours only, you have the chance to DOUBLE your impact, and that could mean everything to someone like Kristy.

When Kristy was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, her first thought was for her five-year-old daughter, Eden. How would she understand that mummy was sick? 💔

Kristy explained to Eden that she didn’t need to be scared. But for Kristy, it was frightening, and going through cancer treatment took everything out of her.

Give Big for the PA, and researchers can continue their work for better treatments. So, let’s do this. Your donation will only be doubled TODAY.

Life is busy, we get it! Here’s a few simple steps to help you be a part of Give Big tomorrow:

⏰Set a reminder for 8am
🖥️Visit givebigforthepa.org.au
💰Please DONATE as generously as you can
💕See your gift DOUBLE, and our tally rise as our community comes together to help save lives
📈 Help us achieve a record-breaking Give BIG for the PA 💛

Every dollar raised tomorrow means hope for people like Gemma.
Pictured in the comments 👇

Gemma’s children were six and eight when she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. She is thankful for the treatment that saved her life. But like many women she lives with the knowledge that her cancer could come back. 💔

“I don’t want my kids to grow up without me,” says Gemma. ‘Women like me are desperate for researchers to come up with new treatments.”

Gemma would love new treatments and cures tomorrow. That won’t happen, but your gift gets us a little bit closer to funding live saving research.

Can you believe it’s just THREE DAYS until Give Big for the PA?!

➡️ The goal: Raise $150,000
⏰ The challenge: Just 24 hours to do it
💙 What’s needed: YOU

It’s an ambitious goal but we truly believe our friends will help us reach it! The support of our community (that’s you 😉) will be DOUBLED, for one day only. That sounds like something you’ll want to be a part of, doesn't it?

🔬 Research to find new treatments and cures
🏥 Urgently needed hospital equipment
🩺 World-leading care for patients at the PA

Your support this Thursday could mean more live saving treatments for patients like Taylor.
You can read her story in the comments 👇
Taylor was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer when she was 27 years old.
The treatments didn’t work and it seemed like there was no hope.

But research brings hope when it’s most needed, and Taylor joined a clinical trial at the PA Hospital. “If it wasn’t for the PA, I wouldn’t be here today,” says Taylor.

Give BIG for the PA is a chance to give back and help save more lives. So please, put it in your diary:
