Get started
Step 1 – Decide what you want to do to fundraise for CCA
There are heaps of different ways to fundraise. Just think of what suits you – what are you good at? What interests you? How much time do you have? Look through some fundraising ideas here:
Give it up!
Try giving up your morning coffee, alcohol, sugar or social media for a month – all in the name of raising funds for CCA and supporting those with IBD. Or say goodbye to your hair by either shaving or dying your hair.
Challenge yourself
No mountain is too high if you’re celebrating it for a good cause. If you’re looking for adventure, challenge yourself with a physical undertaking (check your bucket list).
In the office
Host an office morning tea, BBQ or golf day. Working from home? Consider donating the $$ you are saving by not commuting to work. Introduce a COVID-19 swear jar into the workplace and fill it with a gold coin every time you say the word.
At school
Encourage your school to hold a purple casual clothes day, bake sale or if you’re feeling creative, sell hand crafted goods at a school festival. You can even organise a raffle or start a competition to guess the number of jellybeans in a glass jar.
Celebrate with CCA
No mountain is too high if you’re Celebrate a milestone birthday, anniversary, bar mitzvah, Christening, or even a housewarming party. Ask your friends and family to help you celebrate the occasion by donating to a cause close to your heart in lieu of giving gifts.
At home
Enjoy a trivia or cinema night with friends and family, have a virtual movie night in with friends or have a girls/guys night in. You can try having a garage sale online through eBay or hold a music concert.
Step 2 – Get ready to fundraise
Set up your fundraising page
Once you’ve picked your challenge or activity, set up an online fundraising page on mycause, gofundraise or Facebook. Search Crohn’s & Colitis Australia and select us as your beneficiary charity.
OR
Register your event

TIP: Personalise your fundraising page by uploading photos of yourself and the event, keeping your supporters up to date with your progress and achievements. Explain to your supporters why you’re trying to raise money and supporting your cause. If you have a story, make sure to share it!
Step 3 – Spread the word
Promote your event or fundraising page with friends, family and work colleagues to raise awareness. Try sharing on social media to gain support and drive donations, and encourage your friends and family to join in the fun.
