Starship, Ruby Seeto and Wallace Cotton
Ruby Seeto has been working with Wallace Cotton since 2009, when she was an 11 year old cancer survivor, designing colourful tea towels to raise funds for Starship, our national children’s hospital. Ruby’s tea towels have become collectors’ items over the years and her new designs are always eagerly anticipated.
Every year, Ruby creates a new design which is produced and sold by Wallace Cotton. $6 from the sale of every tea towel and $4 from the sale of every washcloth set is donated directly to the Starship Foundation. Together we have raised more than $670,000 through the sale of Ruby’s tea towels and washcloths. These funds have supported improvements to the Oncology, Medical Specialties, Neurology and Heart wards as well as the establishment of an ovarian cryopreservation banking protocol to benefit young cancer patients.
Proceeds from Ruby’s new Citrus tea towel and washcloth sets will raise funds to upgrade the Emergency Department staff tearoom. This will transform a functional space into a comforting environment where the hard working Starship team can feel valued, rest and recharge on their well-earned breaks.
