Fundraisers That Drive Impact

A huge thank you to Clubs for a Cause QLD for partnering with us to make meaningful change where it matters most — within our clubs and communities.

It’s been incredible to provide tangible, real-life skills that strengthen the very place that the support comes from - Clubs.

Massive thanks to the Managers and Leaders from clubs across Queensland who showed up, leaned in, and took part in these important wellbeing trainings. Together, we’re helping clubs become safer, stronger, and more connected spaces for everyone.

We measure impact often in numbers, but equally important it is in moments — the kind that shift perspective and open hearts.

Every time a parent or educator says, ‘That changed how I see/do things,’ it reminds us the importance of what we do.

If you're at a local pub over the weekend, take note of the coasters you may see on bars and tables.

Baw Baw Big Blokes BBQ and Mindfull Aus have teamed up for a new campaign - "coasters and posters" - to get people talking about men's health.

Ten local men have stepped up to have their photographs and health messages produced on coasters and posters, with a special focus on mental health and prostate cancer.

There also is a QR code to link with important resources and helplines.

FREE Community Mental Health Seminar 🌟
Join us for a light-hearted, fun and engaging evening packed with real-world tips, stories and practical skills to help you (and those around you) feel your best — at home, at work, and in life.

You’ll walk away with simple, accessible tools to support positive mental health and wellbeing in any environment.
Because it’s always better to have the skills and not need them, than need the skills and not have them.

We all live with, work with, or love someone who’ll face challenges with their mind, behavioural or emotional health — let’s be proactive and show we care.

🎤 Featuring the brilliant Mark McConville & Katrina Gurciullo — get ready for laughs, insights, and plenty of lightbulb moments!

✅ It’s FREE
✅ It’s for everyone
✅ It’s a night that matters

See you there for a laugh and some learning that sticks!

A huge thanks to the courageous local men who put their faces and stories to our Coasters & Posters campaign — reminding our community that strength and vulnerability can coexist.

In a very short turn around, we have seen an increase in scans through to our QR code of Resources & spike in Downloads from our Resource Hub.

This initiative was proudly supported by Baw Baw Big Blokes BBQ and the following venues who have led the way in promoting open, proactive conversations:

The Club Hotel Warragul, Drouin Golf Course, Warragul Country Club, The Bank Warragul, The Warragul Downtowner, The Criterion Trafalgar, The Yarragon Hotel, The Robin Hood Inn, and The Commercial Warragul.

Together, you’re helping turn awareness into action — one conversation, one coaster at a time. 💚
