The Giving Tree
Commemorate the birth of your baby by adding a leaf to our Giving Tree
You can celebrate or commemorate the birth of your baby and give back to the hospital by donating a leaf to our Giving Tree, an art installation in our Maternity Unit.
Our Giving Tree honours generations of babies born at The Bays, including ‘Bush’ babies born before 1997 (when we became The Bays).
Show your appreciation for the care you received at The Bays by adding a heart leaf to the Giving Tree, and help future generations.
All funds raised through the Giving Tree program are used to purchase much-needed equipment for our Maternity Unit including:
- foetal monitors
- neonatal humidicribs
- phototherapy lights
- breast pumps
- cots
Your contribution helps ensure that we can provide the very best care. It’s a great way to show your appreciation and extend the love to other members of The Bays’ family.
For a tax-deductible donation, you can order a heart leaf plaque with your baby’s (or grandbaby’s) name and date of birth recorded on it, to place on our Giving Tree wall. You can choose a purple, silver, pink or gold leaf.
Prices
- Single leaf (for one name only) – $350
- Double (for twins or two children) – $600
- Triple (for three children) – $800
- Family branch – $1000
