Tell everyone about your fundraising page through social media, email or in person. You can also keep people updated through social media of your upcoming events and fundraising activities.
Do I need to create a fundraising page? Can I just hold an event?
We always recommend setting up an online fundraising page, it's a great way for those who'd like to support you but can't make it to the event to make a donation. It also allows us, the Variety team to provide you with help as and when you need it. Once you register we’ll be in contact to find out your plans and how we can best support you.
If you are having troubles setting up your page, please get in contact with us either via phone (02 9819 1000) or email.
