In addition to supporting these events, you can host your own fundraising events. This is a great way to have some fun with colleagues, family and friends while providing Autism Queensland with much needed funds.
We're always open to new and innovative ideas! You can organise small fundraising activities or tailor already existing events to support Autism Queensland.
