The Leukaemia Foundation of Queensland is seeking energetic, innovative and dedicated people across the state willing to meet the challenge of raising money in their local community as part of the Foundation's fundraising Quest.
The Foundation’s Regional Community Fundraiser for Greater Brisbane North, Kathleen Reid, (pictured) said she was now recruiting potential Quest Ambassadors for the fundraising program running until 24 June 2011.
Ms Reid said anyone – male or female – contemplating becoming a Quest Ambassador should be aged between 12 and 85 as at 25 June this year.“All you need are bright ideas and lots of energy for raising funds.
Previous Ambassadors have organised fashion parades, luncheons, golf days, sell merchandise and shopping spree raffle tickets or host charity auctions,” she said. “It’s a very direct and satisfying way to support the Leukaemia Foundation and the patients and families it assists every day." Ms Reid said the Quest was one of the Foundation’s major fundraising events.
“Quest has been held every year since 1983 and in that time has raised an estimated $27 million for the Leukaemia Foundation,” she said.
“The money raised is directed towards helping patients and their families and funding medical research projects.” Anyone interested in being a Quest Ambassador should phone 1800 804 444 or Kathleen Reid on 3318 4458 or 0402 386 218 or visit the foundation’s website www.leukaemia.org.au.
