March 2015 Our club hosted a social night fundraiser to contribute to Rotary International's goal of raising $3 million to help end the debilitating disease polio. Donations from the night went to the Rotary International's End Polio Now fund. 'Give Back to the Mac' Social Night Fundraiser
October 2014 Give Back to the Mac is a social beach party fundraiser for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, which is Australia's only public hospital dedicated to cancer treatment and research. The personal experiences of a member have inspired this fundraiser that aims to support the ongoing efforts of the Peter Mac towards improving treatment options and furthering cancer research.

RCMP Annual Trivia Night
November 2011, July 2013 & 2014 Every year we run a trivia night at the Richmond Town Hall to raise funds for the club to enable us to enact positive change in the local and international community. The night is renowned for it's energetic atmosphere, and is a favourite event on the calendar for friends of RCMP. This year's raffle and auction prizes included 2 tickets to the Footy Show, a night's accommodation from the Art Series Hotel group, a signed Richmond Football Club jumper, a signed Chenai Super Kings cricket bat, and a $1000 photography voucher with Artist Photographer. WhiteLion Bail Out
May 2014 We had several members volunteer to be 'locked up' in Melbourne's Old Gaol for the night to raise funds for WhiteLion, which is an community organisation that works with young people who are at risk and disconnected from the community due to abuse and neglect, drug addiction and poverty. Through their efforts over $1000 was raised for WhiteLion. |

Before the Pounce BBQs
2012 - 2014 This project saw us working with the Richmond Football Club at their Before the Pounce pre-game events at Punt Rd Oval before MCG match day. We ran a food stall selling sausages and drinks for Richmond FC members and fans, with half of all proceeds raised going to The Alannah and Madeline Foundation, while the other half are utilised for club projects. Before the Pounce was a successful fundraiser, and to signify this we recently handed over a cheque for nearly $10,000 dollars to the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, and $1000 for the Richmond Fighting Tiger fund. City2Sea Fun Run Volunteering
November 2011, 2012, 2013 We have members volunteer their time to assist at the City2Sea Fun Run, and a donation per member is awarded to the club. Last year's proceeds were donated to the ShelterBox initiative which provided tents and emergency supplies to victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Phillipines. |
