Ambu-Lunch Event Sponsorship | Victoria and/or South Australia
For partners who want profile, connection, and impact through our signature events.
Ambu-Lunch events bring together sponsors, business leaders, paramedics, and supporters to raise funds for the TLC Ambulance and related services. Sponsorship offers strong visibility, networking opportunities, and a direct link to life changing experiences for children in palliative and end of life care.
Because we cannot reach every child who needs us without your help, your sponsorship becomes even more meaningful. In fact, by sponsoring this event, you are not simply adding your logo to a banner, you are standing beside families during their most fragile moments and helping them create memories that truly matter.
Your sponsorship will:
- Align your brand with genuine and lasting impact
- Demonstrate compassionate leadership to your staff and community
- Place your organisation among others who believe every child deserves dignity and joy
