Fundraising Ideas
Special Occasion Fundraiser
About to celebrate a special day? Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation, Christening or Farewell? Whatever the milestone you’re marking, spread the love by creating a Make a Difference fundraising page.
As you invite your loved ones to celebrate with you, you may prefer to skip the gifts and ask them to make a donation to your page. It’ll be a special way to honour the occasion and together share the feeling of knowing you’ve helped to make a difference to parents grieving the loss of their baby.
In Memory
Directing donations to Bears of Hope in lieu of flowers for a funeral or memorial service, in acknowledgment of a baby’s birthday, or another special date/anniversary is a special way to leave a legacy of love and bring hope to many other families.
With each donation made to your page, is the opportunity for the donor to leave a message of support.
Our thoughts are with you at your time of loss and beyond, as well as our deepest gratitude for your decision to support our cause in this way.
Personal Challenge
Keen to set yourself your own physical challenge this year? Give greater purpose to your challenge and turn it into a fundraiser for Bears Of Hope.
You may like to organise a walk or run a marathon in your area, a cycling/rowing/running event at your local gym, bike ride or even a swimming challenge to achieve.
You can even log and show your efforts after syncing a fitness app when creating your page.
Host Your Own Fundraiser
You can also host your own fundraiser in conjunction with your online page. Some examples include raffles, coin box collections, Bunnings BBQ’s, morning teas, trivia nights, school or workplace fundraisers. Funds raised through hosting your own event will be added to your online fundraising page.
It is a wonderful way to connect with your local community and raise further awareness of Bears Of Hope.

Every grieving family deserves support no matter where they live. We offer a range of free, compassionate services to help families navigate life after unimaginable loss. From counselling to parent weekends, your fundraising will help ensure parents can access care, connection, and hope wherever they are in Australia.

Our Baby Keepsake books hold birth details and special mementos such as photos, hair clippings, hand and footprints. For every $30 you raise, a Baby Keepsake Book will be donated to a family in honour of your baby.
