Join the fantastic mission of The Rising Sun Charitable Trust - we're all about making a difference with style!

Our goal is to provide a helping hand to Australian veterans and their families, every dollar we raise goes completely into the trust. At times they face devastating events by having a loved one killed in combat, or in training exercises, abroad or at home. The impacts of PTSD-related illnesses sadly are overwhelming amongst many veteran communities, which not only affects the mental status of the individual, it includes what happens in their intimate family circles, the burden of being in financial distress can spiral out of control, we are all now trying to cope with everyday costs, which continue to rise due to our economy. Our job is eliminating this distress to help them move forward and find higher ground.

So, here's the fun part: our 2025 fundraiser is going to be even more epic than last year's success! We rocked it with $42,000, but this time, we're setting our sights on a whopping $60,000. And guess what? You can be a part of this incredible journey.
