$289,000.00 raised since 2005
BNI New Zealand and Hospice New Zealand renewed their partnership agreement this week with a signing ceremony between BNI National Director Graham Southwell and Hospice New Zealand Chairman Wilf Marley in Auckland.
Hospice New Zealand also presented BNI with a certificate acknowledging the contribution of the organisation and its members in raising $289,000.00 since 2005 for hospices throughout the country, as well as the sponsorship of 42 BNI Palliative Care Education Scholarships awarded to healthcare workers involved with hospice.
The goals of the national agreement are to raise funds for local hospices through local BNI chapters countrywide, to continue to provide multidisciplinary scholarships for palliative care health workers and to raise awareness at a national level through collaborative and national awareness activities.
