U.G.L.Ybartender of the Year, Kit Packing

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION –

U.G.L.YBartender of the Year, Kit Packing

Thousands of Australians are diagnosed with blood cancer each year. Hundreds will lose their lives. It’s why our researchers are working tirelessly to find out more about why it strikes and how to stop it. We’re also there to support those who have been diagnosed already.

We provide somewhere to stay for patients undergoing months of gruelling chemotherapy, sometimes hundreds of miles from their home, as well as information, support and advice at a time when it’s needed the most.

This year we need volunteers to pack 350U.G.L.Yparticipant kits can you help by donating your time? It’s a fun day assembling kits for our Annual U.G.L.Y Bartender of the Year participants. Enjoy a day meeting new people or having a break away from the office with colleagues. It’s rewarding to meet your assembly target for the day and know you have truly helped make a difference to the lives of those living with a blood cancer.
