QF3 Fundraising

QF3 attends a vast array of locations and events throughout the year selling tickets in small raffles and also providing sausage sizzles at various venues. Coast Guard Redcliffe is made up entirely of volunteers and fundraising is a key part of providing funds to keep QF3 operational 24/7 365 days of the year.

These are some of the annual events we attend: The Redcliffe Show, Kite Fest, Sails Festivals and the Brisbane Boat show.
