The Children’s wards got a special visit today from Wellington’s A-League soccer team The Phoenix.
It was the team’s first Christmas visit to the Children’s wards (18 and 19). Owner Terry Serepisos said because the players had such a huge following amongst children the team wanted to pay a special visit. “This is a way to give something back to the kids because the Phoenix is all about getting kids involved.”
It was announced on Wednesday 16th July that the Vodafone Wellington Lions have chosen Wellington Children's Hospital and the Wellington Hospitals and Health Foundation as their Official Charity for 2008.
