HUSK launches Blip to help sick kids get home sooner

The Monash Children’s Hospital is a  proud member of the Hospitals United  for Sick Kids (formerly Curing  Homesickness) alliance.

With the  launch of a new character Blip, who is  trying to get back home, the alliance  continues to partner with major brands  to raise funds for children’s hospitals throughout Australia.  

With special thanks to Coles and their  April campaign, customers opted to make a  $2 donation with purchases. Combined  with 50 cents from the sale of every Coles’  “Mum’s Sause” pasta or pizza sauce, this  year the program expanded to include a  donation from selected products from  Arnotts, Swisse, Flora and Cucina ranges  raising over $215,000.  

Fashion retailer, Lowes also became a  major partner of HUSK over summer,  donating $10 from the sale of every bucket  hat, raising an incredible $40,000 for  Monash Children’s Hospital.
