FUNDRAISERS STORIES


Red Beret got Blue for September! 

For the whole month of September Red Beret donated 10c from every main meal sold to Blue September along with donating some of their goose club raffle money to the campaign. Usually the Red Beret supports womens cancer fundraisers but during September they changed from pink shirts to blue. One Saturday night they also painted kids faces and held three raffles using prizes from local businesses. Red Beret raised an amazing $1215 for Blue September! Thanks guys!

JAMIE’S PERSONAL STORY AND WHY HE CHOOSE TO RAISE MONEY FOR
BLUE SEPTEMBER! 

 Last years Blue September winner of the Hyundai car prize, Jamie Bardelmeyer is giving back to a cause that has been a great impact on his life.

Jamie helped promote Blue September at the Carlton VS St Kilda AFL game – he rattled donation tins and painted people blue, along with the rest of the caring volunteers that all did their bit to help raise awareness of men’s cancers and funds for vital cancer research. 

Jamie had a cancer scare himself that made him reassess his life. He is now strong enough to overcome the tough times and has become a very important part of cancer awareness and a fantastic advocate for Blue September.
