FUNDRAISE
Show your support for people in your local community and make a difference in their lives.
Are you an adrenaline seeker ready to challenge yourself?
A runner entering a race?
A baker, a quizzer, a brave person ready to shave your head?
Combine your creativity and skills to raise money for The Lighthouse with your friends, church, school or workplace.
By choosing to fundraise, you can help provide food for people in need, clothes and toys for a family who are financially struggling, or money advice to help someone get themselves out of debt.
“You guys are angels. This food will last me at least a week and I don’t know where I’d be without it.”
