Legacy’s $1.75m campaign

l CAIRNS ESPLANADE

JUST days away from ANZAC Day 2023, a $1.75 million fundraising campaign has been launched to build a dedicated house for the families of Cairns war veterans.

Legacy House will include emergency accommodation for two families at a time, a café, room for Legacy services and programs, a community hall and garden and a playground for children.

FNQ Legacy chief executive Rebecca Milliner said the organisation was “thrilled to launch this fundraising campaign, which will enable us to construct the new facility, Legacy House, that will provide essential support services to the families of our fallen veterans.”

“We are extremely grateful to CP Architects who have generously provided the concept designs for Legacy House. Their contribution demonstrates the spirit of community support and collaboration that is making this project possible,” she said. The fundraising campaign will run for the rest of 2023, with various events and activities planned to raise funds and awareness for the project.
