MND Community Champions Making a Difference

We sincerely appreciate the wonderful support we receive from our community. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to provide many of our supports and services. We’d like to acknowledge some recent efforts by our community champions.

CPA Gala Dinner

On December 5th, CPA Sunshine Coast hosted an unforgettable Gala dinner! The evening was made extra special thanks to the incredibly talented artist David Hart, who generously donated a stunning collection of his artwork for auction. Along with a variety of other amazing auction items, the event raised crucial funds to support the incredible work we do for the MND community. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved, we’re excited to share that we raised an impressive $3,627! A massive thank you to the CPA committee for their passion, effort, and generosity. We can’t wait for even more exciting events like this in 2025!

elFarqo Live Stream Fundraiser

Our dedicated fundraiser, Liam, hosted another successful live stream campaign, Farqo’s Christmas Special. This 24-hour event, streamed live on Twitch and YouTube, raised funds in honor of Liam’s fatherin-law, Kelvin, who is living with this devastating disease. The stream proved to be an excellent way to engage with a younger, tech-savvy audience and raise awareness within the gaming community. Thanks to the incredible support, this 2024 campaign raised a recordbreaking $3,170! Stay tuned for the 2025 Christmas stream and don’t forget to spread the word to your gaming friends!

Toowoomba Grammar School’s Generous Support

We were thrilled to receive a generous donation of $880 from Toowoomba Grammar School, raised through a Free Dress Day fundraiser. This kind gesture brightened our day here at MND Queensland, with every dollar going directly to support a community member living with MND. It’s such a simple yet effective fundraising idea—why not suggest hosting a Free Dress Day at your own school?

Reid’s Place Continues to Support MND

Reid’s Place has shown incredible ongoing support for Queenslanders living with MND through their successful High Tea campaign, raising $3,150 in 2024. This award-winning venue donates $2 from every high tea purchased, and we’re excited to announce they’ll continue their support into 2025. If you’re in the Scarborough area, make sure to treat yourself to a delightful high tea while supporting a great cause.
