The RFDS in SA/NT
Fundraising
Every day, the RFDS comes to the rescue of more than 100 Australians across the country. We always need help to raise vital funds to keep our crews in the air and on the ground.
Raising funds can be simple and easy – you can do it any way you like. Set yourself a physical challenge, ask for donations instead of birthday pressies, host a morning team or quiz night, or fundraise in memory of a loved one.
