Last year, the stars were sponsored by over 60 local businesses, families, and organisations, with each donating between £300 to £1,500 in order to sponsor a star, raising over £30,000 for the Trust’s charity.
This year you can once again sponsor a star, with all funds raised being directly reinvested into patient care, as well as treatment and facilities at the Trust.
The prices for the stars start at:
- £300 for a star in memory for family and friends (a price that can be split between multiple individuals if required)
- £500 for schools and community groups
- £800 for small businesses
- £1,500 for large businesses
Richard Parker OBE, Chief Executive at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, said: “We are hoping to experience the same support this year as we achieved last Christmas, when we were amazed by the generosity of local businesses, organisations, and families. The hospitals all looked amazing with the stars shining on them, and they were a fantastic way of showing support to our NHS heroes, whilst also paying respects to those who have sadly passed.
“It has undoubtedly been one of the toughest periods in the history of the NHS, but the varying acts of kindness shown to us here at the Trust has given everyone a huge morale boost. So please, if you can, consider sponsoring a star over this festive period as any donation, be it big or small, will make a huge difference.”
