And now for a feel good story about some legends down at Brookvale…..no not the Manly Sea Eagles (them too)…

Cure Our Kids is a fantastic Aussie Charity dedicated to supporting the Oncology Unit at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead. They raise funds and provide services to help make the challenge easier for kids with cancer and their families.

Cure Our Kids is in the process of raising $40 million to upgrade the Westmead Children’s Hospital facility – see http://www.c4cc.org.au/

Whilst already having a web presence the team had no control over updating it in a timely manner – it was starting to look tired and out of date which in no way reflected the energy enthusiasm and activity that the team at Cure generates on a day to day basis.

Just last year Cure Our Kids donated $1 million to the Children’s Hospital  – but had little control over communicating this great news and other activities/events to their supporters – current and prospective.

Simply was engaged to implement an uplifting new design into a content management system (The CMS is custom built by Simply to fit the precise business need of each client). This would allow cure to immediately update the website with new content, new images and news items. The CMS also enables cure our kids to create a secure web area with content for parents and kids – only accessible via secure login.

Simply also increase the efficiencies and capabilities of the website by enabling website visitors to donate on  line (monthly or one off for new events/causes), purchase tickets to Cure Our Kids events and most importantly communicate quickly with supporters old and new via an Email delivery system called Broadcast.

All of these features of the site and are now controlled by the Cure Our Kids, they can be proactive and reactive and it doesn’t cost them anything more than their time each time they want to update communicate raise funds or organise.

The project(s) were such as success Carolyn Dodds (Tireless CEO – absolute legend and maniac) is looking to the future and has engaged Simply to convert it’s highly regarded Financial services directory (a print version) to a custom built online version – see www.directory

This directory not only gives Cure Our Kids a better offer to raise sponsorship but enables users of the directory yet another option to find and search for those advertising in it  – quickly and easily.

Keep an eye on Cure Our Kids  they are going places and the Children’s Hospital at Westmead is reaping the rewards of their tireless efforts.
