We’re excited to launch an endowment fund for Chelsea Hospital, Gisborne’s only private healthcare facility, where staff strive to deliver high-quality surgical services.
Whānau Āwhina Plunket received a grant from Sunrise for $1930 which they have used to purchase 10 new car seats.
Local businessman John Larsen has been a regular donor and staunch supporter of Sunrise since our inception in 2014.
Our Platinum sponsors Bayleys Gisborne have recently taken their support to the next level, with a ‘Community Hero’ concept that will support Sunrise’s operating costs.
This month at our annual Sunrise event we celebrated our eighth anniversary.
A generous family group of parishioners have gifted $40,000 to The Sunrise Foundation and requested it be used to seed the Saint Mary’s Catholic Primary School Endowment Fund.
As well as growing the endowment funds, The Sunrise Foundation is focused on giving back to the community. We support a diverse range of groups and organisations with grants given out each year.
