Start fundraising

Thank you for taking the first

step to becoming a difference maker!

Your help enables us to continue funding cutting-edge equipment, vital research, and on-the-ground

support for kids with all illnesses, injuiries and conditions, throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales.



The possibilities are endless when it comes to fundraising - the only limit is your imagination. 

What will you do to 

make a difference?

Challenge yourself

From running a marathon to shaving your head, giving up chocolate or trying something new, challenging yourself is a fun and exciting way to fundraise. Get out of your comfort zone and ask your friends, families and community to support you to hit your goal.

At school

From fun runs to bake sales, sponsored swims to read-a-thons there are so many ways you can get your school community involved in fundraising for sick kids. It’s a wonderful way to teach kids the importance of giving back and creating a real school community goal. 

In your workplace

Hosting an event, making up a team or challenging a colleague are all ways you can make a difference to sick kids in your workplace.   If you already have an event planned, why not add a fundraising element to it via a raffle, auction, or sales.

In celebration

Gifts can be a wonderful and rewarding way to celebrate that special occasion. Why not ask your guests to donate what they would have spent on a gift. You can do this at the event or via a personal fundraising page.

In memory

There are many ways you can celebrate the life of a loved one and remember them. Whether it's setting up an online tribute, organising a group collection in lieu of flowers or giving a one-off personal donation. 

In your community

From lemonade stands and bake sales to bridge climbs and treks, anything goes. Grab your friends, family, and community and host a fun event! Girls night in, crazy hair day, raffles, garage sales and more!

I have a cash donation. What do I do?

You can add this in through your login page as an offline donation to still recognise your donor/event. You will need to use your bank card to make payment and then hang onto the cash - it is that simple. Alternatively, contact our team on fundraise@childrens.org.au and we can provide you with bank account details and a unique reference number so you can transfer into our account.
