Fundraise

Fundraise for us

Albany Community Hospice has been fortunate over the years to be supported by individuals, groups, organisations and businesses in our community who fundraise on our behalf so we can continue to provide free palliative care to the community.  Over the years we have had many fun community fundraising events for Hospice from cricket matches, music events, book launches, fun runs, Bibbulman Track walks, virtual marathons to cake stalls at local schools. There are so many ways to fundraise for Hospice!

If you’re thinking of organising your own fundraising event, we would love to hear from you.  Please get in touch with our Community Engagement Co-ordinator on 9892 2456, who may be able to assist you make a start on your own fundraising event or campaign.

Fundraising ideas

Organising a fundraiser is a great way to connect with your community and have fun at the same time. Here are some fun fundraising ideas to inspire you:

  • Hold a free dress day at your work for a gold coin donation from colleagues who join in.

  • Organise a Quiz Night at your local community centre or club. You can sell tickets for the event and include raffles or silent auctions to raise extra money for Hospice.

  • Enter a fun run, walk, or bike ride event and have family, friends and colleagues sponsor you.

  • Undertake a personal challenge and get sponsorship. This could be walking The Bibbulman Track, riding the Munda Biddi trail, a head shave or doing something adventurous on your bucket list.

  • Hold an Easter or Christmas fair (or host a stall) selling crafts, cakes, cards and home made gifts.

  • Coordinate a second-hand fashion parade and sale – get together with friends and donate clothing that isn’t wanted anymore, price the items, hold a fashion parade and sell them to the highest bidder.
