How to set up your own gifts in lieu fundraiser

Birthdays

Asking friends and family to make a donation in lieu of a birthday present is a wonderful way to fundraise. You can take pride in knowing that this year, your birthday gave support to Western Australians throughout their breast cancer journey.

There are two ways to do this.

  • Set up a fundraising page for friends and family to donate to in celebration of your birthday.
  • Host a party and collect donations at the event. Breast Cancer Care WA can even supply you will official donation envelopes. If your guests fill these out on the night we will have their details and be able to issue them all a personalised tax receipt and let you know how much was raised on the day. Contact Breast Cancer Care WA on (08) 9324 3703 to arrange official envelopes.

Wedding Favours

Many couples are following a new trend at their weddings by making a donation in lieu of wedding favours or bombonieres. It is a beautiful way to say thank you to your guests.
Breast Cancer Care WA can even help you with a personalised card for each table letting your guests know “In lieu of traditional wedding favours we have chosen to make a donation to Breast Cancer Care WA”.
