The Hairy Heroes
The Mission
As we all know November is a focus
month for men’s mental health and suicide prevention throughout the world but
most definitely here in Australia.
What you may not know is that there
several ex-service and combat veterans amongst our community here at CGA.
This year we have decided to combine
these two worlds to fundraise for Soldier On.
About Soldier On
Soldier On is Australia’s only
national support service provider for members of the Australian Defence Force
(ADF) and their families.
As a national charity, they support
more than 5,000 veterans and their family members through our Health and
Wellbeing services, Employment Support, Learning and Education Programs, as
well as Participation and Social Connection activities.
These programs are made possible
through the generous support of the Australian community and Corporate
Partners.
Soldier On offers a full range of
support services across health and wellbeing and social participation,
including psychological support for better mental health, education, and
employment, as well as facilitation of social connections through sports and
community networks, and advice on staying fit and healthy.
I want in how do I support the cause?
Well traditionally when you think
November, you think Mo's.
So, feel free to join us for clean
shave on November first and grow out that lip foliage, face lace, or extra eyebrow
for the entire month.
What if you usually are clean shaven
and don't want to grow a mo?
No problem, have you heard of beards?
Not a fan of facial hair, or to much
of one to shave?
Well perhaps just tell one of the “Hairy
Heroes” how good they look?
Or even better donate to our fundraising
page.
