🎉 MRI Fundraising Appeal – Officially Closed!🎉

This week marks a very special milestone for our community — the official closure of the MRI fundraising campaign. A few final donations have come through, including the pledged contribution from the Woanna Park Trust, helping us officially cross the finish line!

To Woanna Park Trust, and to every single person, community group, volunteer and business who contributed along the way — thank you. Your generosity and dedication to improving local healthcare have made this huge achievement possible.

This campaign has been a true example of what our community can accomplish together and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support.

Now we look forward to the exciting next steps — purchasing and installing the MRI in the not‑too‑distant future. This is an investment that will benefit our region for decades to come, and it’s all thanks to you.

And one last little shout out to the team behind Mallee MRI Appeal - we definitely couldn't have done it without you!! 👏

MRI Update 🧡🧡🧡

✨ 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 ✨

It’s been a little while since our last update, but we’re thrilled to share that we’re getting very close to wrapping up the MRI fundraising campaign. We’re just waiting on a few final contributions to come through before we can officially close this fundraising appeal.

Behind the scenes, our team has been finalising the campaign and moving into the phase of reviewing the MRI design and fit‑out. This is where everything we’ve planned starts taking shape on paper, and is a very exciting milestone.

Stay tuned — we’ll have more announcements soon about the campaign’s completion and on looking forward to the installation of the MRI!
