GV HEALTH Foundation and Fundraising have appointed Amy De Paola as its new director. Formerly Communications Coordinator at the Greater Shepparton Lighthouse Project, Amy has been a passionate advocate for strengthening outcomes for young people and families across the Goulburn Valley.”I am deeply committed to the Goulburn Valley and believe in the strength and potential of our community. Having lived in Shepparton for most of my life, I have a strong understanding of our community and its long-standing generosity,” said Amy.
Amy is a member of the Shepparton Central Rotary Club, a volunteer at the Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch event, and Co-Chair of the Ladies Who Lunch committee. During the pandemic, she also established Food Link, a COVID-19 relief meals program, and raised over $100,000 to support food agencies, schools and community groups with meals, helping to provide support and connection to isolated community members through 2020 and 2021.
In her new health-focused role, Amy will lead fundraising and philanthropic engagement to support GV Health’s vital services and future growth.
“My immediate priority in this new role is the Integrated Cancer Centre fundraising campaign. Securing funding for this project will bring first-class cancer care closer to home. At the heart of this campaign, and all our fundraising efforts, is a commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare locally, ensuring dignity, compassion and support for every patient. I look forward to working alongside our donors, partners and stakeholders to continue strengthening a culture of giving that makes a genuine difference across our region,” said Amy.
