Annual events raising funds for mothers and babies, worldwide.

Mother’s Day High Tea

Our Mother’s Day High Tea event on Friday 10 May at Alto Events was a celebration of motherhood. We had 140 donors, supporters, staff and past patients celebrating Mother’s Day. Thanks to the kindness of everyone who attended, we have raised vital funds to support Mercy Hospital for Women’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as it continues to deliver life-saving treatment to sick and premature babies.  

Golf Day

We also hosted our annual Golf Day at the prestigious Kingston Health Golf Club on Tuesday 28 May. The event was a fabulous success, with many corporate partners, donors and staff teeing off to raise funds for Mercy Perinatal. Mercy Perinatal’s groundbreaking work aims to give babies the best possible start to life through their world-leading clinical care, research, and education.

Thank you to our Platinum sponsor, Silver Star Motors – Mercedes Benz, and our Double Gold sponsor, Oak Capital. We also thank our Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors.  

Save the date! Our next Golf Day is on Tuesday 27 May 2025. To find out more contact Mark Trayling, Corporate Partnerships Manager, [email protected].
