Bushfire

Your Guide To Bushfire Fundraising Events

Here’s a list of all the upcoming events being held to raise funds for SA bushfire relief.

Following the devastating fires that tore through the Adelaide Hills on Friday December 20th and the catastrophic fires that continue to burn on Kangaroo Island, stories highlighting the substantial losses suffered are now coming through. The CFS, who have been risking their lives to prevent further loss of life and to assist the community who have lost their homes (over 2000 at last count), the growers who lost their livelihoods, the wineries who were hit by the fires, the orchards, and many, many others, are all now counting the cost of the widespread destruction.

The wider community around Adelaide and SA are now coming together to fundraise for those affected, and while this isn’t a comprehensive list (yet), we’ve pulled together as many events as we can find here. To submit an event, please email [email protected]
