Eureka Stair Climb event volunteer

The Fred Hollows Foundation is very proud to be the beneficiary of the 12th Annual Eureka Stair Climb.  On Sunday, 17th November, the climb will host around 2,500 participants, striving to scale the 1,642 steps, or 88 floors, to the Skydeck at the top of the Eureka Tower in Southgate. The magnificent view from the 88th floor will demonstrate the difference fundraising for The Fred Hollows Foundation can make to the 4 out of 5 people who are needlessly blind around the world!
We are expecting a large number of participants taking part as individuals or as teams, from local workplaces in the Southbank precinct, as well as a big contingent of Emergency Services.
