Supporting Children's Hospital
Children's Hospital Foundation Australia
DriveNow is delighted to continue its support and help our customers donate further to the Children’s Hospital Foundations Australia (CHFA), helping make a real difference to sick and injured children nationally.
DriveNow.com.au continues to donate $5 from each baby and child restraint booked for Campervan hire through the site to CHFA. These funds will be used for research, services and equipment within the main Children’s hospital in each state. DriveNow will also be offering their customers the option to make an additional contribution upon payment.
With adult seatbelts not providing sufficient protection for babies and children, an appropriate child restraint must be used until children are approximately 26kg in weight – generally about seven years of age. DriveNow provide customers with the entire range of restraints through their vehicle hire suppliers, from baby restraints and capsules to child restraints, booster seats and harnesses.
Managing Director of DriveNow, Russell Matters talks about the new partnership with CHFA and how even small donations can help (www.childrenshospitals.org.au/donate-now).
"We are very proud to be associated with CHFA and to be contributing to such a worthy cause. With the help of all of our customers we will be able to provide funds to help supply new equipment and fund research for some of Australia’s sickest children,” says Russell.
“On top of the donation that DriveNow will be contributing from the hire of any baby or child restraint, I also encourage all our customers to donate to CHFA via our website at the time of payment when booking online. Even a small amount could help save a child’s life,” concludes Matters.
Sarah Wyndham, Business Development Executive, CHFA comments: “We are delighted to welcome DriveNow.com.au as our supporter with this national initiative encouraging child car safety whilst simultaneously raising money for sick and injured children across Australia.”
