Fundraise

Many brains are better than one

We’d love if you joined us in the fight against childhood brain cancer. There are many ways to get involved with RCD so supporting brain matters can be whatever you want it to be!

Host your own Fundraiser

As easy as baking a cake, gathering the bookclub or shooting off an email around the office, we like to put the fun in fundraising. Whether you have an event already in the works or would like to do something special for brain matters, we can help you out.

Need some help organising your event? Get in touch

We can provide you with

• Event promotion to our multi-thousand strong community via Facebook, Instagram or our website.
• An event poster template.
• Flags, banners or other RCD signage you think would be appropriate to create awareness for brain matters at your event.
• Beautiful collection tins for donations.
• Other fun ideas we can brainstorm together.

Challenge yourself

You can set-up a fundraising page and come up with your own fun challenge. A run around the local park. A bake-off at the office. A fundraising dinner at your place. Whatever you decide to do, your fundraising page can be your tool to support your fundraising.

Tips to improve your fundraising

Have a conversation starter

Write on your page why you’re fundraising. Making your story personable will help your friends, colleagues and family understand why they should get behind you.

If asking is not your thing...

If you don’t feel comfortable asking for a donation, that's ok. Instead you can try hosting an event or activity to get friends and family involved. You can also just share your training or your excitement for taking part to keep them updated with your journey. 

Set a goal you feel is attainable

The thing with brain matters is, every bit of funding makes an impact. So you don’t need to set a gigantic goal. Decide on something you feel is fun and motivating to reach. When you’ve reached that, you can decide whether you want to increase it further.

Lead by example. Be the first to donate to your page

"I did it, you can too" is a powerful motivator for others to throw their support behind you.

Join a team because... it's more fun together

What would be more fun than getting your bestie to run with you. Or see your boss wrecked after a long run. Or spending your Sunday with the family, filled with that warm-fuzzy feeling you only get from doing something good. It’s more fun together, so start or join a team.
