Fundraise for us
Fundraising can be a fun and rewarding way for community groups, schools, workplaces, clubs and individuals to make a difference to the families of children with a life-threatening illnesses.
Your fundraising efforts can us reach our $1 million target for the 2012 Piggy Bank Appeal.
It currently costs $4.7 million per year to provide our services to more than 800 families across Victoria. More than 70% of our income comes from fundraising and other activities in the community. Fundraising is an important and effective way for the public to get involved and make a difference to Very Special Kids.
Fundraising events for the Piggy Bank Appeal are only limited by you and your colleagues’ imagination and can include: organising a “very special day”, a “casual for a cause day” in your workplace, raffles, footy themed days, morning teas, movie nights or cocktail Fridays.
