Banking on our Kids appeal
1 - 31 July 2008

Bank of Queensland’s signature charity event, Banking on our Kids, is held throughout July each year to raise funds for sick and injured kids around Australia.

All money raised goes to Children’s Hospital Foundations Australia (CHFA), a partnership of children’s hospital foundations in Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia.   

On average, more than 300 children are admitted each day to our children’s hospitals. Many of them have to go through painful, frustrating or frightening treatments and Bank of Queensland is working hard to make life happier and healthier for these children and their families.

Now in its fourth year, Banking on our Kids mobilised the Bank's entire national network of 280 BOQ and Home Building Society branches, business banking centres, state administration centres and head office staff.

Last year, Bank of Queensland almost tripled its target, raising $90,000 to help sick kids get better, quicker. This year BOQ people (and their local community) right across the country have made it the biggest ever by blitzing the $100,000 mark.

Thank you to everyone who kindly donated to this appeal - and for showing how big your heart is!
