What brings Australians together?

Whether it’s having a BBQ, going out for dinner or catching up for some sweet treats there is one thing that we all enjoy doing and that’s having a catch up over some great food.

It can be anytime or any place and be as intimate or as big as you like, all you need to do is come up with an idea, gather a group and start fundraising in support of the precious ‘Butterfly Children’ and DEBRA Australia.

There are over 1000 people currently living in Australia that are affected by ‘the worst disease you’ve never heard of’ Epidermolysis Bullosa also called EB. EB is likened to having 3rd degree burns and the skin blisters and breaks at the slightest touch. EB individuals go through extremely painful 3 hour dressing changes every second day. We need you to band together and help the precious Butterfly Children by raising critical funds and awareness.

Ideas You Can Try

Here are some great ways you can get involved…

Individuals

Hold an event like a BBQ or Mexican night for your friends and family at home or how about a progressional dinner where each course is hosted at a different venue. Set up your host a dinner page, and all your friends can make a donation to helping make the lives of EB sufferers that little bit better.

In The Workplace

Keep it simple and have a morning tea, Friday night drinks or tradie BBQ and have all staff make a donation to support the company’s efforts.

Restaurants

Help us out by asking your local restaurant/café to have a donation tin through the month of October for loose change. If you need some further information contact our team marketing@debra.org.au.
