Paulie’s Corner's coffee fundraising event has raised $300 for Northeast Health Wangaratta’s (NHW) Newborn Critical Care Appeal.

A dollar from every coffee purchased on 3 July went towards the appeal, which has a $70,000 target for the hospital to replace essential neonatal equipment for newborns.

The fundraising initiative was part of wider contributions by the PAS Hospitality Group, such as the upcoming charity dinner at Ava Dining in Milawa.

NHW chief executive officer Libby Fifis said she was grateful for the businesses’ ongoing support for the cause.

“Their enthusiasm and generosity have made a real difference, and we’ve been amazed by the effort they’ve put in to help raise funds,” she said.

“We truly couldn’t be more thankful for their contribution to this important cause.”

Paulie’s Corner thanked all the members of the community who supported the fundraiser, as well as their baristas and staff who were slinging shots and frothing milk all day long.

Owner and director of PAS Hospitality Group, Paul Szeligiewicz, said he was eager to get behind the cause after spotting an advert in the Wangaratta Chronicle.

"It’s important for our community to get around things like this and raise as much as we can for the safe arrival of our newest community members," he said.

Ava Dining will host its fundraising dinner for the appeal on Friday, 25 July.
