Help us keep flying

Fundraising is vital to keep us in the air and saving lives.

Without your support, RACQ CQ Rescue wouldn’t get off the ground.

In addition to the challenge of saving lives, our community-funded service must raise more than $5 million annually to keep our helicopter flying so we can be there to help those in times of dire need.

Our ability to provide this region with a world-class aeromedical service. which touches and saves hundreds of lives each year in this region, is a direct result of the phenomenal support we receive from our sponsors and this community through various fundraising endeavours.

 

Your help is critical

There are many ways you can help fundraise for our region’s rescue helicopter. It can be as simple as attending our events, buying our merchandise, and supporting through workplace giving or you can host your fundraising event and donate the proceeds.

 

Four easy steps to hosting an event or fundraiser

When you host your event and make RACQ CQ Rescue the beneficiary, you are making a difference and supporting the lifesaving service we deliver across Central Queensland.

The process is very easy:

  1. Register your details to hold a fundraiser for RACQ CQ Rescue. We will add this event to our calendar and email you the Authority to Fundraise paperwork to complete;

  2. Tell us if you require assistance from our events team or volunteers;

  3. Have your artwork or social media approved if using the CQ Rescue logo;

  4. Tag us on your socials and we can help promote your event to our followers.

Third-party fundraisers can be small and intimate gatherings for individuals or community groups like morning teas or raffles.

They can also be large community events like the River to Reef Charity Bike Ride, the CQ Rescue Talent Search, or even the donation of proceeds from raffles, charity golf days or camp draft events.

Your fundraising efforts will be greatly appreciated by the team at RACQ CQ Rescue and by our patients and their families. Let us know today how we can help with your fundraising efforts by emailing our team at events@cqrescue.org.au.
