Get Involved with TLR
Every year, people being treated for blood cancers rely on the support of others. When you get involved with TLR, you help us recruit new stem cell donors, fund nursing scholarships, and strengthen specialist care when it matters most. Because we’re completely volunteer run, community support makes a huge difference. Whether you donate, fundraise, get your workplace involved, or simply spread the word, you help create real impact.
Your Impact Starts Here
People who have raised money for the TLR Foundation or volunteered their time to support our work.
The number of young Aussies who have signed up as potential stem cell donors through the TLR Foundation.
The number of nurses who have completed a Master of Cancer & Haematology Nursing through the TLR Foundation’s scholarships.
City2Surf
Running well, mostly walking for a great cause
Every year, The TLR Foundation takes part in Sydney’s iconic City2Surf. Supporters of all ages sign up, take on the course in their own way, and raise funds for something that matters. There’s no pressure and no finish time to chase. Instead, it’s a great excuse to do something good with good people.
Through City2Surf and other community fundraising efforts, TLR has now raised more than $1,000,000. As a volunteer run charity, that support makes a huge difference. It helps us fund nursing scholarships and recruit more young and diverse stem cell donors across Australia.
Fundraise your way
Fundraising with TLR doesn’t have to be fancy. Some people run, while others bake, shave their heads, or ask for donations instead of birthday presents. And yes, some of us even jump out of planes for the cause, which still feels a bit unnecessary, but here we are.
Every dollar raised helps us recruit young and diverse stem cell donors and fund nursing scholarships that help nurses build specialist skills in cancer care. Because we’re volunteer run, community fundraising goes a long way and makes a real difference to what we can do.
We can help you set up a fundraising page, share ideas, and cheer you on along the way. Whether you join one of our community fundraising events or create something completely your own, it all helps.
Support the work that matters
People support The TLR Foundation for all sorts of reasons. Some donate. Some fundraise. Others spread the word about stem cell donation because they know how much it can matter when someone is being treated for blood cancer.
Your support helps make everything possible. It helps us recruit young and diverse stem cell donors and fund more nursing scholarships that support specialist cancer care.
We don’t pay salaries or office rent, and we don’t receive government funding. Instead, a community of people who care deeply keeps this work going. If it matters to you too, you can help us do more of it.
Get your workplace involved
We love working with organisations that want to do something meaningful. Whether your team wants to fundraise, get behind one of our events, or help spread the word, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
Some teams choose to raise funds together. Others get behind events such as City2Surf, offer matched giving, or support us in ways that suit their culture. We can also visit your office to raise awareness about stem cell donation and encourage eligible staff to join the stem cell donor registry.
When your team gets involved, more people hear about stem cell donation, and more funds go towards our nursing scholarships and community fundraising.
If your organisation would like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
Get involved. It’s easy to help.
You don’t need to run a marathon to make a difference. Trust us. When we say fun run, we mostly mean walk. Getting involved is simple, and it can change lives.
There are lots of ways to get involved with The TLR Foundation, and every bit of support helps. You might donate, fundraise, spread the word, or get your team involved. Some people do one thing, while others do a few.
However you choose to help, you’ll be helping a volunteer run charity give hope to people being treated for blood cancers.
