Paint the Town Red this
September for Arrow!
About Paint the Town Red
September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
This September, we are asking individuals, business organisations, and venues to host a red-themed fundraising activity to raise awareness and vitally needed funds to help patients and families through the toughest time of their lives.
Every dollar raised helps support patients and families through the emotional, physical, and financial challenges of a bone marrow transplant.
We understand life gets busy and even the best intentions can be hard to follow through. If you’re passionate about Arrow and love the idea of Paint the Town Red but don’t have time to host an event, a donation would still make a meaningful difference and we’d be so grateful for your support. You can make a donation here.
HOW IT WORKS
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Choose your red-themed event, invite your family and friends and start planning the fun!
2. Start your own crowdraiser page HERE by scrolling down to the “My Crowdraiser” section and click on the “Crowdraise Now” button.
3. Host your activity & spread the word and encourage everyone to donate!
Why Take Part in Paint the Town Red?
Each year, thousands of Australians are diagnosed with blood cancers or life-threatening diseases where a bone marrow transplant offers the best and often only hope for survival.
For over 2,000 people, it’s a second chance at life and a future with their loved ones.
This year, we’re calling on 2,000 people to give $20 — together, we can raise
$40,000 to support Australians going through bone marrow transplants.
