Central Coast Community Bank branches at East Gosford, Kincumber and Lisarow will be the major sponsors of the Central Coast 2025 Raise Love Charity Ball, an event which supports families with seriously ill or injured children.
The sponsorship kick-starts a major milestone year for the network of local Community Bank branches, which are celebrating 25 years of operation.
The Raise Love Charity Ball will be held on Saturday, March 15, with funds raised directly supporting the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Gosford Hospital.
The family room is a refuge for those visiting or staying with a child in hospital.
Family members and friends are able to step away from the ward and into the family room, where there’s a kitchen, bathroom, laundry facilities and a comfortable lounge where people can relax and take a break from what is often a highly stressful situation.
“We are honoured to be able to support such a worthy cause, that really does provide essential assistance for local families when they need it most,” Franchise Group CEO Michael Bell said.
“The Ronald McDonald Family Room provides invaluable support to families during incredibly challenging times.
“By sponsoring the Raise Love Charity Ball, we aim to contribute to their continued efforts in keeping families together in our local area rather than having to travel significant distances for essential medical care.
“You may not think who you bank with matters, but it does.
“For our customers, their banking is making a real difference.
“Community banking is based on a profit-with-purpose model, which means our profits are returned directly to the community that has generated them.
“With our support, the Ronald McDonald Family Room can remain free and open to the families of children receiving treatment at Gosford Hospital.”
Attendees at the event will hear from families and ambassadors as to how important the family room has been for their families, while enjoying a three-course meal and fundraising activities on the night to help raise additional much-needed funds to support its ongoing operation.
Tickets for the Raise Love Charity Ball are now available with details on how to buy a ticket or make a donation on the Central Coast Branches of Bendigo Bank Facebook Page.
