Fundraising can be fun and easy - with a little bit of help and a great cause to support

It is an extremely exciting time for research right now but we need your continued support because the only remedy is a cure. Will you join the team that is working towards a cure for diabetes?


Some Ideas to Get You Started

Some successful events which JDRF members and supporters have run recently include:

  • Jazz night in Canberra
  • Splash of Red Gala Ball in St Kilda, Victoria
  • Roller Skating night in Sydney
  • Leeds' Longest (Sunday) Lunch in Kew, Victoria
  • Austen Powers film night in Geelong
  • Charity Preview of Cabaret musical in Melbourne
  • Geoff's Big Shave in Brisbane
  • Christmas Tree Sales


Fundraising in a Box

JDRF's "Fundraising in a Box" products make fundraising to fine a cure for diabetes fun and easy.

Are your friends all Trivia buffs? Why not run a Trivia Night? Maybe it's time you declared a Casual Clothes or Sneaker Day at your work place! Do you have a busy reception area to house a Jelly Baby Guessing jar?

JDRF can provide you with all the materials that you need, literally in a box, to organise one of these three fundraising events with your family, friends or workmates.

Contact your local JDRF office on 1300 363 126 for more information.
