Raising funds for Beyond Blue 😊

[Mcrates]

Hello administration... I have been reading thru the BB website and wish to raise some funds for BB. I have worked and grown up at a local Family run swim centre for 37years... I am thinking to ask my boss if we could host a swim a thon with our kids electing a distance to swim and gain sponsorship accordingly... We recently raised funds for Brayden Davidson who went on to win Gold in the high jump at the Disabled Olympics in Rio. I think it would also help raise awareness of BB amongst the youth in our community... I know a local printer who would assist in a Poster and graphic designer who works for said printer... I am thinking say February-March next year being 2018... Could you please let me know if this idea of mine is a viable one? It is something that I can do to give back to our BB community. Thank you 😊

Hello Mcrates

Great initiative (and the care factor to raise awareness for Beyond Blue) and thankyou so much 🙂 You certainly do have a background in raising funds with your great effort with sponsoring Brayden Davidson in the Disabled Olympics and have a graphic designer and printer that can assist as well!!

I am a volunteer on the forums but am more than happy to forward your wonderful fund raising idea to management so you can have more detail on how to proceed with your initiative 🙂

Hello there Dools 😀I have had a preliminary discussion with my Boss... A positive reception! So early next year my Swim a thon looks like a go ahead... I'm very excited... I studied Project Management at University... So will draft a Critical path spreadsheet during the holidays... I'm very keen with the awareness of BB for our young people and their respective families. Keep you all posted...
