Switch students are pushing for awareness
This June, we're taking on The Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
Ā
From 5-28 June 2024, we will be completing 3,249 push-ups in 24 days. This number represents the 3,000 deaths by suicide that occur every year in Australia, and we're pushing to make a change in ourselves and in our community.
Ā
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to our fundraising page or by joining our team to be a part of the fun. Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Ā
Together, we can make a difference.
Ā
Warm regards,
The Switch Crew
