HELP CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER:

2/2 • Our 2020 Ride for Lily – Alpine Epic kicks off on March 29 from Canberra, and will see 21 riders, some new and some old, make their way back to Melbourne over 7 days through some of the most gruelling (but spectacular) road cycling taking into account Mt. Kosciuszko, the Victorian Alps and King Lake. Our riding team have been out on the road already training for this massive challenge since the beginning of October and have already raised over $31,000. Don’t forget, you can sponsor any of our riders by jumping onto https://liveforlily.org.au/ride-2020/ and selecting on your favourite rider. Every rider has committed to raise a minimum of $5,000 to be part of the Alpine Epic so they would love to get the support from their family and friends to help them achieve their fundraising goals. • The 2020 Butterfly Ball is going down on the 13th June next year – get the date firmly locked in your calendar and start to organise your tables again for what will be another amazing Butterfly Ball evening. We have all the favourites returning again this year – the golden raffle where a car will be won, the frenetic live auction with some amazing prizes and experiences and an even BIGGER treasure chest! We also have some surprise guests on the night and an entertainment and music line up that will no doubt have everyone up and dancing. So if you only go to one charity ball next year, the 2020 Butterfly Ball will be the place to be! • Thank you to all our amazing partners who are on the journey with us to find a cure for childhood cancer. Without your support we simply would not exist. • Finally, thank you to everyone who has contributed to our cause this year – so many wonderful people ready to dig deep through making donations, donating prizes, holding fund-raising events and giving up their time, all with one mission in mind – to one day see an end to childhood cancer. • Lily would have been turning 15 on the 1st of January. The legacy she has left behind is profound and we will continue to honour that legacy, and indeed of that of her mother Sianne, in doing what we can to ensure no more children have to suffer at the hands of cancer. ~~ #LiveforLily
1/2 • The Live for Lily Foundation would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our followers, supporters and partners a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and festive and holiday season. • 2019 was another big year for us at Live for Lily. In April, we held our biggest and most successful Ride for Lily – The Tour of Tassie where 28 amazing cyclists cycled over 1,000km in 7 days and raised an astonishing $265,000. It was a truly memorable event, and one our group of inspirational riders and volunteer support team will look back on fondly in the years to come. Everyone involved in the Tour of Tassie should be extremely proud of the contribution you have made to the Foundation, and indeed to helping us find a cure for childhood cancer. • The Tour of Tassie was followed up in June with our biggest Butterfly Ball to date. Over 700 guests packed the Crown Palladium for an amazing evening raising over $136,000. On the same night, we made our largest ever donation to the @childrenscancerinstitute, half a million dollars, taking us to over $1M donated in just over 3 years. This money is being used to fund what we believe to be life-saving childhood cancer research at the Children’s Cancer Institute, and we look forward to continuing our association with this amazing research organisation and their team of incredible researchers into the future. • We also launched our brand new website, which is bringing us closer to all our supporters and partners and provides us with a much improved experience for visitors to our website. We are also now able to communicate and promote our key fundraising events and broader community activities more effectively and in the process make it easier for the general public to support us in our fundraising efforts. • We say it each year, but next year is shaping up to be even bigger - if that’s possible! ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

They are real superstars 💫 • • #LiveforLily

PARTNER WITH US • At Live for Lily, we are committed to doing all we can to raise much needed funding into targeted childhood cancer research being conducted at the @childrenscancerinstitute. Through our two main fund-raising events, the Ride for Lily and Butterfly Ball, we are also raising awareness about the scourge that is childhood cancer, and the devastating effects and impact this disease has on children and their families. • We are extremely fortunate to have a number of business supporters who are helping us in our journey, including our premier partner @airport_toyota. We are extremely proud that Live for Lily is operated and run entirely on a volunteer basis – no one involved in the Foundation is in a paid capacity – so we absolutely value the support of all our Partners which ultimately means that every dollar of we raise goes where it is needed most – into finding a cure for childhood cancer. • We are very keen to speak to other Australian businesses who are looking to align their community engagement strategy to our mission of one day finding a cure for childhood cancer. There are so many ways to get involved, including financial sponsorship, community grants, donating products for our live auction or golden raffle at the Butterfly Ball, offering logistical or other assistance for our Ride for Lily event, holding morning teas or gold coin donation days or other novel fundraisers. Being involved is a great way to bring an organisation’s community engagement agenda to life which in turn has flow on benefits by inspiring and motivating your staff, lifting customer loyalty and retention and ensuring meaning and purpose is brought to your business. • In return, we are only too happy to promote and recognise those businesses who support us through our website, our social media channels, at the Butterfly Ball and Ride for Lily events. • For more information on what it’s like to Partner with us at Live for Lily, jump onto https://liveforlily.org.au/partner-with-us/. • Alternatively, please reach out to us if your business would like to join us in seeing an end to childhood cancer. • #PartnerWithUs #LiveforLily #ButterflyBall2020 #RideforLily2020
