Paint the Town Red this September in support of Arrow, the Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation!

September is blood cancer awareness month. Host or join a Paint the Town Red event this September and you will be helping the thousands of Australians who receive a life-saving bone marrow transplant each year. 

 

About Paint the Town Red

A bone marrow transplant is a tough medical procedure and is often the only cure for people suffering from serious blood diseases including blood cancers such as leukaemia, myeloma, and lymphoma. 

Paint the Town Red is an exciting new campaign aimed at celebrating life while raising funds for Arrow’s patient support program. During the month of September, we are asking individuals, business organisations, and venues to take part in an activity with a red theme. 

Whether you go out on the town dressed head to toe in red, host a red-themed party, or buy a red cocktail/mocktail at your local participating club, your support will help patients and families who have received a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.

 

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3

  1. Decide what type of event you would like to host and select a date.

  2. Visit https://givenow.com.au/paintthetownred and select the “Fundraise for this cause” button to set up a fundraising page for your event.
  3. Host your event and encourage your friends, family and attendees to donate using the page you set up in step two.

Ways to Paint the Town Red:

There are lots different ways to support Paint the Town Red this September. Here are a few ideas to get you started, or you can come up with a way to paint the town red that suits you. Whatever it is you dream up, remember to tell us about it so we can support you in your fundraising!

Sell red mocktails/cocktails

If you the owner of a bar or restaurant (or you’re mates with someone who is!) why not create a red mocktail or cocktail for the month of September, with a donation to Arrow for each one sold in the month?

Run a red-themed mufti day at your child’s day care centre or school

Hold a ‘wear something red’ mufti day at your child’s preschool, daycare centre, or school during the month of September and ask everyone to bring a gold coin donation.

On Wednesdays we wear red!

Ask your team to all wear red to work and collect gold coin donations.

Pinot & Paint

Gather your mates together for a Pinot & Paint evening and donate a portion of the ticket price.
