Chevron-RFDS Spirit of the West Awards
The Chevron-RFDS Spirit of the West Awards is an exciting new program that recognises fundraising excellence, initiative, humanity and spirit. Thanks to the support of Chevron Australia, individuals have the opportunity each year to win fabulous prizes through their RFDS fundraising and community focused activities. But it is not so much about how much you raise - it’s how you do it and what it does for you that counts.

Flying Doctor Day
Celebrate another RFDS anniversary on Friday, May 15, 2010 by dressing up, dressing down, holding a sausage sizzle or whatever takes your fancy. Flying Doctor Day is an opportunity for offices and schools to have a great time while also raising funds.
Flying Doctor Day is held in May each year on the Friday closest to May 15, the anniversary of the foundation of the organisation that became the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Fundraising Events
Holding an event is a great way to have fun and get the community involved. What you do is bound only by your imagination and drive – and, of course, by the need to ensure that you don’t break the law, risk life and limb, or offend community standards! To register your event with the RFDS and receive our help and advice you will need to complete our Fundraising Proposal Form (link WA form)
Pens and Bears
This is easy and can be done all year round. RFDS pens and cute little RFDS bears can be delivered to your school, business or organisation on consignment and all you need to do is encourage people to buy them to help the Flying Doctor.
