A Tribute Fund is a wonderful way to express the love you feel for someone special …a lasting gift that not only honours a loved one but also creates hope to many patients who have cancer.

Everyone remembers a loved one in their own way. A Tribute Fund offers another way to celebrate their life.

What is a Tribute Fund?

It is a permanent fund named in honour of your loved one. You, your family, friends and colleagues can all make donations into the fund.

There is no minimum donation and every donation, large or small is greatly appreciated. The fund is ongoing, so further donations can be made at any time.

What will we do with the money raised?

We will keep you informed about how much your fund has raised and most importantly how your funds have been used.

Importantly donations to your fund will enable us to ensure the Centre is fully fitted out with the necessary equipment required for patients. This includes everything from basic items such as oxygen flow meters and suction regulators through to speciality equipment.

How can you grow the Fund?

There are many ways you can help grow your loved one’s Tribute Fund – the opportunities are endless and can be lots of fun.

Some people like to organise events, anything from fun runs to garage sales. Others mark special occasions whether it be a birthday, Mothers or Fathers day, even weddings by asking for donations instead of receiving presents. Another simple way to build your fund is to make regular monthly donations.

What do I do next?
