Fundraise for Light the Night!

We’ll support you every step of the way!

Another 53 people will know they have blood cancer by the end of today.

Your fundraising efforts can transform fear into hope — in incredible ways, by ensuring that a blood cancer support coordinator will be there for families through every scary, uncertain moment that follows a diagnosis.

On average, people proudly raise over $500 as part of Light the Night, but how much you raise is completely up to you!

Lantern Qualification

Lanterns are limited to one per person, and only available to those who have funds raised on their personal Light the Night fundraising page.

To guarantee an official lantern you needed to fundraise $100 or more by 11 September 2022. We set this date so we can ensure that your lantern will arrive in time for the ceremony. If you raise $100 after 11 September and still wish to receive your lantern, we will try our best to get it to you, but we cannot guarantee it will arrive on time.

You can contact us any time on 1800 500 088 if you need help fundraising or have any questions about your lantern.
