Big Freeze 11 FAQs

The Big Freeze is FightMND’s largest fundraising campaign, raising vital funds for MND research and projects supporting those living with MND 
On 9 June 2025, the MCG will be flooded with blue Beanies as brave celebrities take the plunge into Australia’s coldest ice bath. And we’re not stopping there! We’re freezing the nation with State Freeze events in South Australia and Western Australia!

A Big Freeze 11 Beanie does more than keep your head warm. It’s a symbol of hope in the fight against MND. Every Beanie sold powers ground-breaking research and supports those living with the disease. 
$50 (2 Beanies): helps researchers drive forward new MND discoveries. 
$150 (6 Beanies): funds efforts to uncover the causes of MND, moving us closer to preventing or delaying the disease. 

FightMND has invested nearly $115 million into research and care projects, driving progress in the fight against MND and supporting Australians impacted by this devastating disease.
