Fundraising for the Children’s Hospital Foundation helps us fund life-saving research, purchase vital equipment, and provide comfort, entertainment, support, and care for sick kids and their families.
Ways to fundraise!
There are many ways you can get involved and fundraise for sick kids. You can create your own fundraiser, be part of an existing event, support a fundraiser, or join a team.
Celebrate
Ask for donations in lieu of gifts for your birthday, wedding, or other special occasion.
Let's celebrate!
Donations in lieu of a gift 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.

Challenge yourself!
Why not challenge yourself to do something different and ask for support to reach your target.
Take on the challenge.
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.

Fundraise your way
Got your own fundraising ideas? We are here to help you make these come to life.
Put the FUN in fundraising!
We love hearing the amazing ways our wonderful community want to fundraise for sick kids. From lemonade stands and bake sales to bridge climbs and Alaskan treks, we will support them all.
Why not get your friends, family, and community involved and host an event, have a girls night in, kick a habit, have a crazy hair day, hold a garage sale, face your fears, hold a raffle…
…to name just a few
The easiest way to get your own idea up and running is to create your very own online fundraising page, but if you need any help or support, please contact us.

In memory
Fundraising in memory of a loved one is a very special way to honour their life.
Celebrate the life of a loved one.
May we take this opportunity to offer our sincere condolence if you have recently lost a loved one.
There are many ways you can choose to celebrate their life and remember them, whether it is setting up an online tribute, organizing a group collection in lieu of flowers or just giving a one-off personal donation, each gift in memory of your loved one is a gift of hope to other sick kids and their families.
You can set up a personalised in-memory page and each donation recorded on your page allows family and friends to leave a little tribute message.
At school
Fundraising events can be one of the most exciting events on the school calendar.
Kids fundraising for kids!
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.
If you have an idea for fundraising at your school, we’d love to help you get it off the ground.

In your workplace
Fundraising in the workplace is a great way to build relationships and bring the team together.
Working together to help sick kids
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.
We would love to help you bring any ideas you have to life so please feel free to contact us.
