Community bank donates to cancer patient centre

The Community Bank Merbein and District has donated 25 thousand dollars in sponsorship to Mildura Health Foundation.

Mildura Health Foundation Board Director, Ms. Karen Woolfe, said “The generous donation from the Community Bank Merbein and District is a wonderful way to begin the New Year. It is truly heart-warming when community organisations and individuals unite for a common cause.”

The Chair of the Community Bank Merbein and District, Mr. Malcom Bennett, said a Mildura Health Foundation presentation to the board was influential in the bank’s decision to donate, as was the extent of support that project was receiving from other sources. “The presentation gave us a clear understanding of the intent and value of the project, and the financial support and planning that underpin the Foundation. It certainly gave us the confidence to make the largest single sponsorship commitment in the history of the bank.”

The funds will support the fit-out and ongoing operational costs of the Dr Julie Zrna Centre, set to open later this year and provide accommodation to cancer patients.
