Sausage sizzle
Let’s start with the easy one — who doesn’t love a sausage sizzle? They’re easy to organise and lots of shops and businesses offer a warm welcome, so what’s not to like? Watch this video.
Head shaves
Volunteering to have your head shaved for us is a great way for your family and friends to rally round and get the donations coming in — and think of all the money you’ll save on haircuts! Watch this video.
Gift Elliot this Christmas
Hospital can be a scary and lonely place for a child...but you can brighten their day by giving them an "Elliot" toy dog. To acknowledge your gift, we'll also hang an Elliot Christmas ornament on our tree, with your name on it. Give Elliot today.
Bake sale
From cakes to scones, from muffins to meringues, organising a bake sale is a sweet way to bring in the dollars for children with cancer, and their families.
Gala dinner
If you’ve not had the chance to dust down that elegant frock or stylish black tie suit recently, perhaps it’s time to organise a gala dinner for your nearest and dearest or your colleagues — all in aid of the Childhood Cancer Association.
Walk, run or ride
Whether you’re preparing for your latest running event, you’re ready to pedal across the state, or you’re thinking of motorcycling around Australia, we’d love to hear from you. Choose us as your charity and help us make the difference.
