FUNDRAISING

WHY DO I HAVE TO RAISE AT LEAST $500?

add remove

Up All Night is a major fundraising event for RMHC WA, supporting of WA families with sick kids.

We know that participants enjoy the challenge of an overnight walking marathon, and by setting a minimum fundraising target, everyone is on board with the same goal. Over the years of this event, our amazing fundraisers have told us that $500 is very doable, with many achieving above and beyond the minimum value.

If you’re not confident about that target, there are other ways to be involved too – like volunteering on the night.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T RAISE THE $500?

add remove

We’d love you to walk, you're an important part of the Up All Night Community.

We know it’s tough out there and that’s why families with sick kids and RMHC WA are so grateful for your support.

Your opportunity to fundraise closes 31st March 2024. If you need support, the team at RMHC WA are here to help every step of the way, you can email us at team@upallnight.org.au or call us on 08 9346 9000.

Just remember, by walking you’re making a difference.

Should your team raise more than the required minimum amount of $500 per team member it will be up to your team captain’s discretion whether members who haven’t raised $500 individually can take a share in the team total and get to participate.
