Partners

The Tropical Fruits enjoys fantastic working relationships with a number of GLBTI and GLBTI-friendly organisations.  It is these connections within our community that help us provide our members with the best support and information possible.

2021 NYE Sponsors

In 2021 we launched a sponsorship program where we invited local businesses to sponsor the NYE Party. This was done to collaborate with our local business community and help promote their business during these difficult times and also to support our organisation.

There were 8 businesses that took us up on this:

Southern Cross Hygeine - The Civic Hotel - Mary Gilhooleys - Biztax Lismore - Officeworks Lismore - The Station Hotel - Curious Craft Ales & Workforce Skills & Training

We thanks them all for coming on board for Aqueerious Rising. If your business is interested in becoming a sponsor for Tropical Fruits, either annually or perhaps for a small party only or a section of Fair Day, please do get in touch with our team and we will send you the details and packages. We aim to have these ready by March of this year.  Email Kelly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
