Hello NMFC BF board.
I'm posting this thread on behalf of White Owl, who as a new user can't start threads just yet.
Please take the time to read this information as it might be something you're interested in and could consider attending.
-----------------------------
I help run a charity called White Owl. NMFC is a supporter of ours (we have been dealing with Nick Haslam from the club) and one of our charity partners is also one of NMFC’s, Australian Prostate Cancer Research. We are a registered not for profit organisation whose aim is to increase awareness of men’s health and wellbeing issues, and raise funds to assist its charity partners. White Owl was established in 2016 by seven men, following the loss of two close friends, both in their early 40’s, to prostate cancer and suicide. One of the lads was a very passionate NMFC supporter hence our alignment with the club.
White Owl’s goal is to help more men become aware and proactive in maintaining their physical and mental health, and accessing the support and preventative networks and treatments that are available to them. Our 2017 fundraising event will be held in the Crest Room @ Etihad Stadium before & during the Round 11 AFL clash between North Melbourne & Richmond. After capping the event to 200 attendees last year, we are hoping to fill the venue with 300 guests this year and we have already secured Nathan Thompson (ex: North Melbourne & Hawthorn footballer who has raised considerable awareness around clinical depression) as a key note speaker. Tiffany Cherry has also signed on again in 2017 to be our event MC and we are working on a few more guest speakers too.
For $150, each guest gets an A-reserve seat on level 2, a 5 hour food & drink package, raffle, door prizes, giant silent auction, guest speakers, support 2 wonderful charities & watch the Roos win!!!! All details & ticket purchasers here - www.whiteowl.org.au
-----------------------------
As we are (mostly) a forum populated by men of varying ages, we must not forget that mental and physical health are the only things we have, and that the majority of men suffer in silence and won't come forward and ask for help due to what they believe will be perceived as weakness.
Asking for help is never a sign of weakness, in fact, it's a sign of strength. If more men are aware of, in the words of White Owl, the support and preventative networks and treatments that are available to them, not only may the quality of life of men everywhere be extended, but lives could be saved.
If this charity and this event are at all appealing to you, please consider buying a ticket or supporting White Owl in any way you can.
