QTA Raises much needed funds for Are you bogged mate?
We kept up the tradition of donating all proceeds from the raffle and auction to a not for profit that is making real difference to the lives of Queenslanders. The generous contribution from everyone on the day raised $4,000 for Are you bogged mate?
Are you bogged mate? Is a small not for profit that punches way above its weight. It was started by Mary, a passionate advocate for agriculture and was raised on the land. She understands the diverse challenges faced by the rural sector. After spending her whole life working in rural and remote Australia, Mary knows country blokes. She’s worked with them, for them, and beside them and mostly importantly she knows how to talk to them. Are you bogged mate? aims to boost awareness and start a conversation with the broader community about the rising issue of depression and suicide rates among men in rural areas. We are confronting the challenges that country men face on a daily basis, talking about mental health, and lighting the path to support.
Thanks again to all our sponsors new and old, all the players and to the capable team @ the QTA who continue to deliver events with a difference.
