Cars for Charity

On Sunday 28 September, despite bad weather the cars from the Cam County Car Club set off on the biennial Mystery Poker Run commencing at the Petone Working Men’s Club and later driving through the Hutt Hospital grounds.

The Cars for Charity event is run by The Cam County Car Club and the Petone Working Men’s Club and starts early with a big breakfast at the Working Men’s Club before cruising the Hutt Valley. There are classic as well as modern cars – all dressed up for the event that attracts young and old along the route. The event raised $12,000 for the Tree Hutt that will be used to buy observation monitors in the paediatric department.

Two years ago the Cars4Charity Mystery Poker Run raised $15,000 from the rally that was used to add to the magical forest and critters murals on the Tree Hutt’s walls and bring in special toys from the United States.

Trust is winding down

The Hutt Hospital Foundation Trust (HHFT) was formed in 1993 in response to the potential closure of Hutt Hospital. Since then – with support from the Hutt community - we have supported the hospital, raising funds for equipment, nurse development and patient comfort.

The Trust is now winding down due to the regionalisation of hospital support services through the Wellington Hospitals Foundation. Its substantial fund-raising capabilities will greatly benefit the Hutt.

Any accumulated funds and resources upon cessation of the Hutt Hospital Foundation Trust will be handed over to the Wellington Hospitals Foundation for its continued work on behalf of patients and their families in our area.
