Fundraising
Organise your own Community Fundraising Event
Each year, many individuals and groups are inspired to make a difference by organising an activity or an event in their local community to raise money to support us.
Community fundraising is an enjoyable and rewarding way of raising money for a worthwhile cause together with friends, family and your community. It is also a great way to show your support for friends or loved ones affected by diabetes.
Please take the time to read over our Community Fundraising Guide before putting forward your proposal. If you require further assistance please contact the Fundraising Team on 1300 136 588 or email.
