Bargara ANZAC Day 2025 is now underway, with a passionate community working together to keep one of Bargara’s most meaningful traditions alive. The annual Dawn Service, a powerful moment of remembrance, is completely community-funded—and the organisers have set a goal to raise $20,000 to support this year’s event.

Why Bargara Needs to Raise Funds for the ANZAC Day Service
Bargara ANZAC Day 2025 is a truly community-led event, with every element—from staging and sound to commemorative materials—made possible through local support, donations, and sponsorships. This grassroots approach gives the community ownership of the service, allowing it to reflect the heartfelt appreciation of those who attend.
Fundraising efforts play a vital role in maintaining the quality, dignity, and organisation of the Dawn Service. They also help ensure that future generations understand and honour the sacrifices of those who served our country.
Heartwarming Community Effort
Bargara ANZAC Day 2025 has already seen early success, with more than $5,237 raised thanks to community generosity. One particularly touching story comes from a young Bargara State School student who donated his entire week’s pocket money of $2 to honour his great-grandfather’s service.
This level of heart and dedication is what makes this campaign so special. As Bernie Strohfeldt, President of Bargara Remembers, shares:
“Every contribution, no matter how small, plays a vital role in ensuring this service continues for generations to come.”
