QEII DIY BIRTHDAY

When you create your DIY Birthday fundraising page, you can decide which area of care at the QEII Health Sciences Centre you’d like to support. From life-saving technology for cancer patients to a first-of-its-kind program that provides gift cards to patients who need it most, you will have an impact on local health care in Alicia’s hometown, no matter the area you choose.

All funds raised by our DIY Birthday Fundraisers will directly support the QEII care areas of their choosing. Any costs associated with our DIY Birthday Fundraising x Alicia Mccarvell frosted by Charm Diamond Centres initiative are covered by our generous event sponsors and partners (cash + in-kind support). 

Yes. Donors who pledge $10 or more will receive an official receipt for income tax purposes from the QEII Foundation (Charitable Business No. 88646 3496 RR0001). Online donations will be acknowledged immediately with their attached tax receipt.

There is no registration fee to create your own DIY Birthday fundraising page!

Alicia Mccarvell, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a mega-influencer with more than 5.9 million followers on TikTok and more than 1 million followers on Instagram. Alicia teamed up with the QEII Foundation to make an impact on local health care in her hometown by inviting her followers to join the party by creating a DIY birthday fundraiser.

Absolutely! You can set up your own DIY Birthday fundraising page any time! But, to receive an invite to Alicia’s in-person half-birthday party on April 6, 2024, you must raise $500 or more by March 31, 2024. So, consider celebrating your half-birthday or your pet’s birthday. Or, you can even set up a fundraising page to honour the birthday of a loved one. Need more ideas? Don’t hesitate to reach out to us and ask!

Way to go! You’ve earned your invite to a night of celebrating with Alicia Mccarvell! The party will be in Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 6, 2024. We always have a few surprises up our sleeve, so it’s guaranteed to be an exclusive experience you won’t want to miss. More details to come!

By raising $500, you’ll earn your invite to Alicia’s party. And, when you raise $1,000, you are welcome to bring one guest. For every additional $500 you raise, you will be invited to bring an extra guest. For example, if you raise $1,500, you will receive an invite for you and two guests. Or, if you raise $2,000, you will receive an invite for you and three guests. Up to a maximum of five guests.

You’re a fundraising superstar! Thank you for making an impact on healthcare for Atlantic Canadians. If you’re still in the Top 10 by the event date, our presenting partner, Charm Diamond Centres, will frost our top 10 fundraisers with a beautiful birthday gift hand-picked by Alicia and will receive other exclusive opportunities to be announced.

Any DIY Birthday Fundraisers who are under the age of 18 and raise at least $500 are able to attend Alicia's birthday party if they're accompanied by a guardian. As a youth DIY Birthday Fundraiser (under the age of 18), you'll need to raise a minimum of $1,500 to bring an extra guest (in addition to your guardian).
