THE SUNFLOWER PROJECT
This year, we’re thrilled to partner with our friends at the Kalbar Sunflower Festival to present “The Sunflower Project.”
From Tuesday 1 to Sunday 6 April 2025, visit our Sunflower Tree and fashion display, located outside Target. While you’re there, take a moment to write a heartfelt message of hope on one of the provided postcards for the patients at the Mater Cancer Care Centre, Springfield.
Your message will be showcased on our Tree before being delivered to the Mater Cancer Care Centre in Springfield, offering support to those undergoing treatment.
THE KALBAR SUNFLOWER FESTIVAL
Jenny and Russell Jenner founded the Kalbar Sunflower Festival as a drought-diversification project in 2021, and it has since grown into a beloved local event attended by thousands.
In late 2021, Russell was diagnosed with Stage 4 Oesophageal Cancer and received treatment at the Mater Hospital Springfield. Over the 2022 and 2023 festivals, more than $115,000 was raised for the Cancer Council Queensland. Sadly, Russell passed away in July 2023.
Jenny, supported by a dedicated team, raised over $130,000 in 2024, funding a Cancer Care Nurse and a cuddle bed for Boonah Palliative Care. This year, the festival aims to raise funds for another cuddle bed in Ipswich, support the Alison Baden-Clay Foundation, and continue funding the Cancer Care Coordinator role at the Mater Hospital Springfield.
The 2025 Kalbar Sunflower Festival will take place from 2 to 4 May 2025.
