Why This Matters
Suicide rates among farmers are heartbreakingly high—up to 94% higher than non-farming Australians. This event isn't just about entertainment—it's about hope, connection, and letting our farmers know they’re not alone.
Whether you’re a farmer, a family member, a friend, or a concerned community member, this is your chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who put food on our tables and strength in our communities.
Our Goals:
- Raise $5000+ for Flannel for a Farmer
- Share vital mental health and wellbeing resources.
- Start real conversations about mental health in the bush.
- Strengthen local connections that last beyond this one day.
