Our Cairns Airport Making Christmas a Little Brighter campaign is aimed at supporting smaller, lesser-known charities, not-for-profit organisations and grass-roots sporting community groups with limited marketing capacity located in our Far North Queensland region. 

Five groups will each receive a AUD $5,000 Donation ahead of the Christmas period. Locals are being asked to nominate deserving organisations, via a simple online form below, with nominations closing at 5:00pm on Friday 6 December 2024.
