How can your School Help?
Hold a school fundraiser to support students living with asthma.
Hosting a Free Dress Day at your school is a fun and simple way to raise funds and awareness of asthma in Australia. Plus it encourages individuality and social responsibility among students.
When To Host Your Free Dress Day?
World Asthma Day in May is the perfect time to get involved! On this day, Asthma Australia highlights the importance of asthma awareness and management, especially for kids.
