Up the Tower
Up the Tower
Wednesday 15th September, 11am – 2pm
Queen Street Mall, Brisbane CBD
Up the Tower is a simple yet vital fundraising event held annually to raise funds for our volunteer surf lifesavers. Basically, we bring the beach to the Queen Street Mall (yes, sand and all) and invite businessmen & women, sporting personalities and celebrities to literally go on patrol up lifesaving towers to help rescue the lifesavers.
This year Up the Tower will be held on Wednesday, 15 September between 11am – 2pm.
Participation requires no financial outlay from you, just the donation of 30 minutes of your time and your commitment to approach your contacts for donations to get you back down the tower (target is $1,000).
The fundraising component is easy and it can all be done on-line even before you set foot on the sand! Surf Life Saving will set you up with your very own personalised Up the Tower fundraising webpage.
If you are interested in rescuing our volunteer lifesavers by going Up the Tower, please contact the Surf Life Saving Foundation Events Team on 3846 8000 or email events@slsfoundation.com.au.
