A note of thanks from St Andrew’s

During both 2018 and 2019 Kaye Foley from Kaye Foley Modelling Academy and Kenn Zerner from St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital held the Stepping Out Winter Glamour Runway fashion event.

Kaye felt a need to give back to St Andrew’s after several of her friends had received treatment through the St Andrew’s John Stedman Oncology Unit.

Kaye and Kenn put together a small team of dedicated volunteers who assisted tirelessly over the eight-month period prior to each of the events.

Local businesses and local contractors working at St Andrew’s on capital projects were approached for their support of the event.

These businesses gave generously both merchandise and funds to ensure the event was a success.

Over the two years the events raised more than $50,000 which went a long way to assisting the many patients and, particularly, oncology patients who are treated at St Andrew’s each year right through their cancer journey.

The proceeds purchased three wellness trolleys with all their accessories, a green wall outside the patients rooms in the medical ward, a series of spectacular acrylic prints produced by Rawink – a local provider – a new privacy wall to give our families of ICU patients a private waiting area, and a glass privacy screen around the main desk in Oncology.

St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital would like to thank all of those who made this incredible event possible as well as those in the community and surrounds who attended.
