Thank you for asking, it’s a BIG deal to us that you want to be part of our big day!

There are many ways you can help us turn the tides of healthcare during the Big Day of Giving. You can make a donation, host your own fundraiser, and help us spread the word with your friends and family and sharing our #QEHBigDay posts on social media.

Funds raised for this year’s QEH Big Day of Giving will go towards ensuring hospital staff and patients of the Island’s largest hospital have access to the best medical equipment for their healthcare needs.

Newer and state-of-the-art hospital equipment helps save lives, enhances patient care exponentially, and fosters innovation. It can also act as a magnet, attracting healthcare practitioners who want access to the best equipment so they can provide the very best care.

Together, we can ensure our front-line heroes have access to the very best equipment, so they can deploy their superpowers to maximum effect. 

View our equipment needs page for more details!
