Messages that Matter

Take a quiet moment beneath the beautiful Jacaranda Tree at Toowong Village to share a message that truly matters. Write an inspiring note of hope for patients at The Wesley Hospital Choices Cancer Support Centre, or a heartfelt message of gratitude for the incredible staff, volunteers, family and friends who provide support every day.

For every message added, Toowong Village will donate $5 to Wesley Choices*, helping provide vital care and support for people affected by cancer. There are more ways to give this year too – shoppers can use the Tap to Donate machine next to the tree to make a direct donation of $5, $10, $20 or $25, or purchase a Hope Bear plush keepsake for $20, with profits donated to Wesley Choices.

It’s simple to get involved:
💜 Write your message on the postcard provided
💜 Use a peg to attach it to a ribbon beneath the tree
💜 Know that your words will be passed on to Choices, where they’ll lift spirits and spread kindness
