Fundraise for us

If you're thinking about organising your own fundraising event, we'd love to be a part of it! By raising funds for the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, you’re helping us move towards a tomorrow where people don’t have to die from heart disease.

Fundraising can be a fun and rewarding exercise. The funds you raise will go directly to heart research. You’ll be helping the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute continue its world-class research into heart disease, the most deadly disease around the globe.
