Events

In QBI’s 20th year, please think ahead. Support critical brain research by giving now to QBI’s Brain Research Endowment Fund.

The Queensland Brain Institute has a team for Bridge to Brisbane and we hope you’ll consider lacing up your runners to support QBI in either the 4.5km or 10km race, all whilst raising funds for critical brain research.

This is a Dementia fundraiser event, supporting the Alastair Rushworth Alzheimer's Research Fund to continue the work of the Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research at QBI. In 2023, the QBI Lexus Spring High Tea will be hosted in the ballroom at the Victoria Park Golf Club. The afternoon will include high tea and French champagne.
