The Leukaemia Foundation runs both state and national events throughout the year. Your support and involvement will not only help the Foundation achieve its Vision and Mission but will offer tangible and significant benefits to your organisation's public profile and staff satisfaction.

Specific benefits of event participation includes:

  • promotion of teamwork
  • greater profile of the organisation's contribution to the community
  • increased staff morale and satisfaction
  • giving staff an understanding and greater appreciation of community needs and how your organisation makes a difference
  • industry leadership opportunities

Corporate involvement in the Leukaemia Foundation’s fundraising events such as World’s Greatest Shave and Light the Night is an enjoyable and memorable experience eg:

World’s Greatest Shave

The World's Greatest Shave is one of Australia's largest fundraising events. In 2008, it attracted 100,000 Australians who shaved or coloured their head to raise money for patient care and research.

Each year, over 2,500 businesses register - any business small, medium or large can participate so why not challenge your colleagues or challenge your boss and be part of the fun!

This year, the National Top 30 recognises and celebrates those organisations and individuals that have raised the most at a national level. Individuals, businesses, clubs, family groups, teams, associations all had the chance to achieve the ultimate in World’s Greatest Shave fundraising.
