Every year, the Mackay Hospital Foundation (MHF) hosts one of the most powerful community fundraising events of the year — Giving Day. It’s the day when the Mackay, Isaac, and Whitsunday communities unite to raise vital funds for our local hospitals, helping improve patient care and support frontline staff.

And this year, Gardian is proud to be part of the action once again — giving back to the community that has supported us for more than two decades.

Giving Day is a 12-hour community challenge, where every dollar donated is matched dollar-for-dollar by generous matched donors. That means when you give $50, it instantly becomes $100 for local hospitals and health services.

💙 Date: Thursday, 23 October 2025
🕗 Time: 8am – 8pm
🌐 Donate: www.charidy.com/mhf

It’s a simple idea with massive impact — and every contribution stays right here in our region.

Funds raised on Giving Day support hospitals and healthcare teams across the Mackay, Isaac, and Whitsunday regions.

Your donations help fund:
🏥 Vital medical equipment and technology
💙 Patient comfort and support programs
🎓 Training and education for local hospital staff
🧠 Health and wellbeing initiatives for patients and families

Recent Giving Day funds have contributed to projects like the Mental Health Gym, pediatric care upgrades, and new clinical equipment — all helping improve local healthcare access and outcomes.

At Gardian, community is at the heart of everything we do — and Giving Day is one of the most meaningful ways we can show that support.

This year, our team will once again be joining forces with the Mackay Hospital Foundation to help spread the word, rally donations, and be part of the energy that makes the day so special.

You’ll see us out and about on the day, encouraging the community to dig deep and double their impact. Whether it’s through donating, volunteering, or promoting the cause, we’re proud to stand behind an event that makes a tangible difference in local lives.

Here’s how you can make a difference this Giving Day:
💰 Donate online: Visit www.charidy.com/mhf between 8am and 8pm on 23 October — your donation will be matched!
📢 Spread the word: Share Giving Day posts on social media and encourage your friends, family, or workplace to join in.
🏢 Support local: Visit participating businesses like Gardian who are backing the cause and helping raise awareness.

Every dollar helps improve care, comfort, and connection for local patients — and thanks to matched donors, your generosity goes twice as far.

Giving Day is more than a fundraiser — it’s a celebration of community spirit, generosity, and the shared goal of creating better healthcare for everyone in the Mackay region.
