Fundraise
Fundraising for medical research
Our foundation requires continuous financial support to sustain its mission, and partnerships are the key to all fundraising undertaken. Lions Clubs across Queensland and Northern NSW are vital to our success and we aim to work in partnership with these clubs at all times. Many clubs work closely with us, providing support through regular fundraising activities in their districts, or by contributing to annual appeals, such as Spring for Research.
We also form external partnerships with a range of companies and individuals who can assist with fundraising. The Royal on the Park is one such example. In the past, the hotel has been the venue for the Personality Quest Grand Final each year, but despite the cancellation of the Quest, the hotel continues to support our foundation through donation boxes placed around the hotel and via sales of the Albert and Alice Teddy Bears. Whenever our foundation is supported, strong partnerships are at its core. We thank all our supporters and partners who continue to work with us.
There are many other ways to assist such as fashion parades, sausage sizzles or movie nights. Organising your own fundraiser is not only a lot of fun, but it's a great way to work in the community and extremely rewarding. If you're passionate about raising money for medical research, then we'd love to hear from you.
