There are many ways you can fundraise to help support the Lions Eye Institute.
Just think of a fundraising event that appeals to you, anything from hosting an event to taking on a challenge. You can do it alone, or as a team with family, friends, colleagues and community groups.
Choose your own challenge events
Be a Lions Eye Institute champion! If you are planning to take on a challenge, why not make it an opportunity to help prevent and cure blindness and treat eye disease?
Whether it’s walking, running, swimming, cycling, surfing, you can make your personal challenge a fundraiser for Lions Eye Institute’s research.
You’ll have fun, your supporters will have fun and when you reach the finish line, you’ll know you have helped save someone’s sight.
Workplace fundraising
Get your workplace involved in fundraising for the Lions Eye Institute.
You will have loads of fun and it’s a different way to do some team-building. There are many simple and enjoyable ways to work together as a team to create events that are appealing and easy to organise. They can include anything from competitions to company outings – and you can involve your clients and suppliers too.
It’s a win for everyone.
It’s a win for your organisation because workplace fundraising fosters good staff morale and promotes a sense of community in the organisation.
It’s a win for the Lions Eye Institute because the funds you raise help support our research aimed at saving sight for people with eye disease.
