Join us for our upcoming events!
A great way to support Gold Coast Hospital Foundation is to get involved with our community and corporate events, or even host a fundraising event of your own!
We are blown away by the creativity and generosity of local individuals, groups, and businesses and their fundraising initiatives. From charity rides and sailing days to raffles and galas, it’s incredible to see Gold Coast locals come together for an integral cause.
If you want to hold a fundraising event or initiative but don’t know where to start, we would love to hear from you!
