FUNDRAISE FOR ACON TO SUPPORT LGBTQ+ HEALTH

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

From Pride‑themed fundraisers and fitness challenges to supporting our annual Red Ribbon Appeal, there are countless ways to get involved with ACON. Every dollar you raise helps power LGBTQ+ community health programs that change lives across New South Wales.

All year round, we're encouraging you to celebrate with pride. Morning teas, bake sales, drag shows and more - you choose how you do it in a way that works for you.

Work up a sweat for at least 21 minutes every day this June and raise funds to help support ACON's vital life-changing community programmes.

It's Sydney's annual 14km run from city to coast and Team ACON's Rainbow Runners will be returning to the streets to raise funds for LGBTQ+ mental health again in August 2026.

Our Red Ribbon Appeal is ACON's iconic fundraiser held each year around World AIDS Day. Join us in 2026 to fight stigma and support people living with HIV.
