Other Events
Our resources – human and otherwise – are extremely limited. We always warmly welcome and need our community to fundraise on our behalf.
Running an independent fundraising event at which NBWS is the ‘Charity of Choice’ is a very popular and straightforward vehicle for our supporters.
All you need is a great idea and passion for our cause. Plan a fundraising event with friends, community group, sporting club or work colleagues – big or small.
It is often best to plan an activity that you enjoy or are already undertaking on a regular basis.
Fundraising ideas include:
- Long lunches
- Raffles
- Fun runs
- Ocean swims
- Bake sales
- Golf days
- Afternoon teas
- Market stalls
- Literary High Teas
If you would like our involvement, or need some advice on planning your event, please contact Kirstie, our Fundraising and Communications Manager (Mon-Thurs), at businessmanager@nbws.org.au or phone +61 420 776 491.
