Fundraising and registering your events

add remove

If you haven’t already, check out our Fundraising Hub with a wide range of helpful resources to assist you, from ideas, posters, social media graphics and logos – we have you covered! With all teams required to fundraise a minimum of $5,000 (for teams of 1-4 people) and an additional $1,500 for each additional team before we head off in October, now is the time to kick off your fundraising.  
 
As we near the end of financial year, this is a good time to do a call out to your networks for donations to your fundraising page. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and your donors will receive an instant tax-deductible receipt. 
 
For some inspiration, check out what some of our teams have been getting up to: 

Team feature: Brian’s Bloodline 

Team Brian’s Bloodlines is made up of five spirited women and was named in honour of Brian Blood, who died from MND in 2019.

Inspired by Brian’s legacy, the team joined Daniher’s Drive and recently held their third fundraising event. After successful gatherings in Ballarat and Geelong, the hometowns of Brian’s adult children, this year’s event took place at Melbourne City Bowls Club in Flagstaff Gardens on 13 June.

Supporters were incredibly generous, with 200 tickets sold and $23,000 raised. Brian would be proud. 

Is your team fundraising event coming up? We want to hear about it! Register your event here or if you need any assistance with your event or would like to brainstorm some ideas, reach out to us at danihersdrive@fightmnd.org.au
