What a glorious day at the Australian once again! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for all the support, generosity and willingness to be open to receiving the messages around mental ill-health and suicide prevention.
The goal for the day was to raise more awareness than funds. To that end, I’m so grateful for the open discussions that were entered into throughout the room and I hope that they sparked further conversation, investigation and comfort in talking about/dealing with mental ill health and suicide.
I am pleased to say that Batyr and Smiling Mind, two wonderful organisations which focus on youth mental health issues, equally shared in the funds raised as a result of the day.
This is another fantastic effort and it doesn’t happen without your wonderful generosity, time and engagement, so thank you to:
- Huge thanks to Steven Shearer, Melissa O’Sullivan, Dan Kytic, Nathan Gibbons and their crews who did a phenomenal job in all areas: Course presentation, hosting, facilities, menus, the staff and the booze.
- All attendees for brining a bottle for the wine auction – I think we can all agree it was a huge success and great fun!
- Thank you to everyone for attending sparking conversation and for filling the day with joy and engagement in the room.
And here’s to Giving a Little Love to many more events and many more deserving causes over the coming years.
