About the Geelong Hospital Annual Appeal
The Geelong Hospital Annual Appeal, launched in 2008, supports the region’s health services by raising money for different areas and priorities within Barwon Health.
These include services within the Geelong Hospital, the Andrew Love Cancer Centre and cancer services, the McKellar Centre, community health units around the Geelong region plus many more.
The Barwon Health Foundation hosts a variety of events throughout the year to raise money for the Appeal. Some of these events are used to raise funds for a specific area within Barwon Health such as women and children’s services of cancer services.
Each year, the Geelong Hospital Annual Appeal culminates in one weekend of giving that takes place on the Queen’s Birthday weekend. This weekend involves a telethon, tin shakes and other activities where the Geelong community can show their support by digging deep and making a donation.
