COVID 19 Appeal

Posted by: Blue Ribbon Foundation

The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation has a long history of supporting hospitals throughout Victoria.  In fact, the Foundation has just dedicated its 57th living memorial, named in honour of a member/s of Victoria Police who died protecting our community.  Each and every hospital project aims to do just that – remember lives by saving others.

With the current COVID-19 pandemic,  now more than ever, we need to all work together as communities to support our hospitals and dedicated health care teams.

After consulting with a number of hospitals we know that the most important equipment is going to be ventilators and other respiratory and emergency equipment. So, we’ve launched an appeal so that Victorians who are able to, can make a contribution to help buy more of this vital equipment for their LOCAL hospital.

100% of the donations will be given to the hospitals nominated to support their lifesaving work during this health crisis.
