Fundraising

No ongoing government funding is received and we rely on community support to fund services and research for better treatments, cures and to give hope. Our fundraising includes the following: –

Be Brave and Shave

Decide to shave or colour your hair, then ask family and friends to sponsor you. Money raised will be used to find life-saving treatments and provide free, emotional and practical support such as accommodation for regional families who need to move to the city for treatment. Every day, 31 Australians will be given the devastating news that they have leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma. Do something amazing to help beat blood cancer. Be brave and shave. Sign up now at www.worldsgreatestshave.com or call 1800 500 088.

Shine with Hope

You can help to create a brighter future by supporting the Leukaemia Foundation’s Light the Night walk. Gather with family and friends at twilight to shine a beautiful lantern of hope; gold to remember someone, white for your own journey or blue to support others. It’s a beautiful way to raise funds in the hope that one day, everyone with leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma can be cured. Learn more at www.lightthenight.org.au or 1800 500 088.
