65 Roses Blooms in 2020!
Thank you to everyone who planted and sent a rose to help raise awareness and funds for children and adults living with cystic fibrosis in WA!
We were blown away by the support of the community who helped grow thousands of roses in the garden and raise over $42,500 for Cystic Fibrosis WA! This fantastic result is a credit to the support provided by the virtual volunteers who promoted the sale of virtual roses, media ambassadors who shared their stories, partner organisations who helped spread the message and community supporters who help increase awareness and raise funds.
It’s not too late to show your support for the virtual 65 Roses Garden. Visit www.rosegarden.org.au and click on “Send A Rose” to email your rose to someone you care about and see it planted in the virtual rose garden here. You can also visit our Facebook page to view and share our 65 Roses awareness posts to encourage your friends and family to send a rose in support of the 65 Roses Garden.
