Alone we can do so little; Together we can do so much

It’s easy to become overwhelmed with fundraising - looking at a large dollar figure as a target can seem insurmountable. However, as a united community, we can all contribute to fundraising efforts, and raise awareness of lipoedema at the same time.

Lipoedema Australia has resources available to assist you in local fundraising efforts - here are some ideas of events that you might like to try:

  • Form a group of local helpers to organise a Bunnings ‘Sausage Sizzle’, with all profits going to Lipoedema Australia

  • Hold a market stall or garage sale and donate proceeds to Lipoedema Australia 

  • Organise or host a fundraising event where proceeds are donated to Lipoedema Australia, for example: 

    • A walk-a-thon at your child’s school 

    • A ‘legs out for lipoedema’ day at your office

    • A pot-luck morning tea at your workplace

Fundraising Events

Our community is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always so grateful when people choose to support Lipoedema Australia through their own events and initiatives. Every fundraiser — whether it’s a morning tea, a fashion parade, or something completely unique — helps us continue our advocacy, education, and support work across the country.

To make it easy for the community to recognise events that officially support Lipoedema Australia, we provide an Approved Fundraiser logo. You’ll see this displayed on events that have been registered with us, including a unique registration number confirming their approval. It’s simply a way for people to feel confident that their generosity is contributing directly to our ongoing work.

If you ever have questions about an event or the use of our stamp or logo, you’re welcome to get in touch — we’re always happy to help.

If you’re planning a fundraiser and would like it to be recognised as an Approved Fundraiser for Lipoedema Australia, we’d love to hear from you. Just send us an email using the button below with the details of your event, and we’ll guide you through the quick approval process.
