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 for mental health
this OCTOBER
This Mental Health Month, we’re lifting the load to support young men aged 10-24.
Carry 10kg for 50km across the month to represent the weight many young men carry in silence. Every step taken and every dollar raised helps Top Blokes Foundation deliver mentoring programs that support boys and young men in building resilience, healthy relationships, emotional wellbeing, and a stronger sense of who they are.
It’s simple. Put on the vest. Start walking. Start talking.
