A Tea-rrific way to raise funds!

Published: May 13th, 2021

We’ve recently caught wind of a wonderful Charity High Tea Event happening in Mandurah this month, which will raise funds for CLCRF.

“It’s a High Tea Event not to be missed,” said event organiser Rebecca. “Not only will this be an amazing afternoon full of fun and laughter, but you will also be helping to raise funds for Children’s Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation.”

This is Rebecca’s first time hosting a fundraising event and she has chosen to support CLCRF because the cause hits home to her. “My grandmother had cancer, but she luckily recovered,” she expressed. “The fact that there’s no cure for many cancers made me want to do my part to help research a cure.”

The event will be held at Catch22 Tapas and Cocktail Lounge in Mandurah on May 29 at 2pm. Tickets are $40 each and will include amazing scones, desserts, sandwiches, and, of course, tea. Guests will also have the chance to win one of three amazing raffle prizes on the day.

“I want to allow people who may have suffered, or know someone who is suffering, with the disease to come together and become friends while also raising funds for the amazing cause,” Rebecca expressed.

For more information about this wonderful event, head to the Facebook Event Page. If you would like to buy tickets, all you need to do is send Rebecca an email.

We thank Rebecca for creating this event to raise funds for CLCRF. The Foundation relies greatly on this kind of community support to ensure the vital research into childhood cancers can continue.

A delicious way to support childhood cancer research

Published: March 26th, 2021

We are thrilled to announce that CLCRF has been selected to participate in Grill’d Scarborough’s Local Matters initiative in April!

Each month, in every Grill’d restaurant, there are three Local Matters jars representing three different community groups. With every burger ordered, a token is handed over for customers to drop into the jar of their choice. At the end of the month, $500 is split between the community groups, with the jar with the most tokens receiving a $300 donation and the other two each receiving a $100 donation.

This is an excellent way for the restaurant to give back and support the communities that have always supported them, while getting their customers involved to help make a difference. We would love your support in receiving the $300 donation! All you need to do is head to Grill’d Scarborough during April and pop your Local Matters token into our jar when you order a burger. We can’t think of a better excuse to treat yourself to a delicious burger next month!

Why COVID-19 affects people like me…

Published: March 15th, 2021

From CLCRF Treasurer, Justin Bruce:

2020 was CLCRF’s 40^th Anniversary and, due to the pandemic all the celebratory/ event plans were either put on hold or cancelled. This certainly gave a lot of people in the childhood cancer community reason to feel a lot of stress, almost some PTSD moments. This time last year I began to struggle myself as I was forced into isolation for 6 months due to my medical history and compromised immune system. Forty years after being diagnosed with Leukaemia I was still hiding away from contaminates that could affect my health severely.

In 1980 it was measles, mumps, and chicken pox from other children. In 2020 it was COVID-19. It was very surreal and made me think the nightmare will never end for me. In the 12 months since that day, I have not shaved or cut my hair. I think it’s time to remove the mane to heal the pain. As a newly appointed Treasurer for Children’s Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation I want to present the image that with more funding great outcomes can happen. Such as me still being here… You all know my story so now it’s time to show your support. Donate to our latest cause. Forty years ago I lost my hair twice. So third time’s the charm.

Start making change!

Published: October 10th, 2020

When it comes to recycling, Western Australians have the chance to make real change. Containers for Change is a WA recycling scheme that lets you cash in eligible containers for 10 cents each.

The mission of this wonderful initiative is to increase recycling and reduce the number of drink containers that litter our environment. In WA, we use more than 1.3 billion eligible drink containers each year; enough drink containers to line a path from Perth to Broome 42 times!

Not only does Containers for Change aim to help the environment, but it also aims to provide benefits for community groups by providing supporters with an easy way to donate their container refunds.

CLCRF are thrilled to be a part of this initiative, which gives you the exciting opportunity to support childhood cancer research AND the environment. All you need to do is go to your nearest refund point and quote our Containers for Change Scheme ID when returning your containers.

Our Scheme ID is C10285275

With over 200 Containers for Change refund points, there is sure to be one near you! You can find your local refund point by heading to www.containersforchange.com.au/wa

On Sunday 11th October, The South West Bike Trek begins in Perth and finishes in Augusta on Saturday, 17th October. The event will involve 15 mature aged riders, who will make the 600km trek to raise money for the Children’s Leukemia & Cancer Research Foundation (CLCRF).

The South West Bike Trek is the biggest purely volunteer run fundraising event for childhood cancer in WA and since it started in 2002, has raised close to $700,000 for CLCRF.

This year, organizers are calling for the public to “adopt a rider” in an effort to assist the fundraising efforts of the 15 incredible riders who have signed up for the challenge. Due to COVID-19 severely impacting the riders’ ability to fundraise, schools are also being encouraged to support riders by holding gold coin donation days.

It’s such a wonderful event that almost never happened this year due to COVID-19 and they’d love to get the word out about this incredibly important event.

There are a number of riders from Mandurah and surrounds involved in the trek as well!

The 2020 South West Bike Trek is expected to follow the below schedule:

Day 1 Sunday 11 October – South Perth to Fairbridge
Day 2 Monday 12 October – Fairbridge to Preston return
Day 3 Tuesday 13 October – Fairbridge to Harvey
Day 4 Wednesday 14 October – Harvey to Bunbury
Day 5 Thursday 15 October – Bunbury to Busselton
Day 6 Friday 16 October – Busselton to Margaret River
Day 7 Saturday 17 October – Margaret River to Augusta
