Fundraising has been an optional part of the Point to Pinnacle since 2012. We encourage you to consider fundraising as part of your Point to Pinnacle OR Point to Pub experience this year. Fundraising is a great way to help someone else overcome their personal mountains while you train and take on yours

Funds raised over the last 8 years through EDH for a variety of charities has now totalled $938,536 and through Movember (raising funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and mental Health) have also raised $860,964. The Mobart Mobros group have been a major driving force behind this outstanding total and we would like to thank and encourage them to continue their amazing work for this great cause.
It is easy to see what an amazing and positive difference we can all make to others if we help raise some much needed funds for a cause close to our hearts.
We are extremely proud of the P2P fundraising tally since we moved in this direction 8 years ago and in this short time have managed to raise a collective $1,799,500 for a wide range of charities and organisations.
We encourage you to raise as much as you possibly can, encourage others to get involved in raising funds and hope to collectively raise over $400,000 again in 2020.
