Start your fundraiser
From mental health milkshakes to marathons, birthday celebrations to backyard BBQs, and everything else in between, we’ve seen ‘Team Top Blokes’ fundraisers do some pretty remarkable things to raise funds for boys and young men.
STARTING A FUNDRAISER IS EASY
Register
It only takes a few minutes to get started. Choose a team name. Pick a photo. Share what you’re doing and why. And just like that, you’re ready to start raising money.
Spread the word
Share your campaign. Tell everyone you know. Next door neighbour, your good mate Geoff, Aunty Evie. Your friends on social. The more people you tell, the faster you’ll reach your goal.
Make an impact
Every dollar you raise helps us give more boys and young males a support system and the tools they need to live healthy and safe lives.
LIFT THE LOAD challenge
Carry the weight so they don’t have to
Poor mental health can be a heavy load to burden, particularly for those who live with it every single day. Lift the Load stops poor mental health in its tracks.
Throughout Mental Health Month in October, you can join the Lift the Load challenge as we carry 10km over 50km. Funds raised go towards giving boys and young men their own mental health toolkit to help them through the messiness of life, helping to reduce rates of suicide and poor mental health.
Other ways to fundraise
Get social
Whether it’s your birthday, a physical challenge, or just because you care, every fundraising social post can make a difference.
Why Fundraise?
As part of ‘Team Top Blokes’, you’re part of a community championing boys and young men to be the best they can be. Along with increasing awareness and empowering those around you to take action, the dollars you raise will help us reach more young males in schools and communities across Australia. We’re putting positive mental health first for everyone.

24 September 2025
Some emotions are simply part of being human. Anger, resentment, stress—we all feel them at different times. The challenge is what happens when men keep those emotions bottled up.
