Hoist Ya Boss

Hoist Ya Boss 2026 is back and we’re calling on Fraser Coast’s boldest business leaders to take leadership to new heights (literally) in support of Fraser Coast Hospice.

This high-energy, crowd-favourite fundraising event challenges local bosses to step up for their community by being hoisted into the air in a Cherry Picker or Scissor Lift with only one way back down: raising funds for hospice care.

Special thanks to our event sponsors

Reaching New Heights for Hospice Care

Fraser Coast Hospice provides fee-free inpatient palliative care to people living with a terminal illness. This essential service relies heavily on community fundraising to continue supporting patients and families with dignity, compassion and care.

In March 2026, local business leaders will be hoisted sky-high, cheered on by crowds below, as they fundraise for this vital service.

STEP 2: Start Fundraising

Each participating boss commits to raising a minimum of $3,000 through their personal fundraising page. 

We’ll support you every step of the way with promotional materials, plus active recognition across Fraser Coast Hospice’s platforms.

STEP 3: Get Hoisted!

On event day, bosses are lifted into the air and only come back down once their fundraising target is met.

It’s friendly competition, great fun, and makes a real difference in our community.
