Our Mission: Support for Communities

The Ruby Slipper Fund is a volunteer-run community initiative that provides financial assistance to individuals on the Sunshine Coast from Langdale to Egmont who are affected by cancer and experiencing financial hardship. Through charity events, fundraising, and community donations, we support local people and families who have exhausted other available sources of assistance.

We are also dedicated to supporting families and caregivers of those diagnosed with cancer as we know how much it can affect everyone.

To learn about the various forms of assistance we aim to offer please visit the HOW WE HELP page.

Our Inspirations: Patsy’s Story

The Ruby Slipper & Black Boot Fund was established in honour of Patsy Rothenbush who passed away in the Summer of 2009 at the age of 51.

Having received so much support from the Sunshine Coast community herself, it was Patsy's wish that a fund be started to support others affected by cancer on the Coast.

To help make her vision a reality the Ruby Slipper Fund & Black Boot Fund was founded by her close friends on the Sunshine Coast.
