The Potoroo Pantry

By Cathy Sabbo Join Me

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

I have decided to fundraise for R U OK? to help spread their message and help prevent suicide. 

About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day.

For every death, it’s estimated another 30 people will attempt suicide.

89% of people report knowing somebody who has made an attempt.

I want to help change these numbers.

R U OK?’s vision is of a world where we are all connected and protected from suicide. 

Their mission is to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and support anyone struggling with life.

By inspiring people to take the time to ask, “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people who are struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.

Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference.

Let the fundraising begin!

Sunday 4th Sep
Throughout September I am fundraising for R U OK? to inspire helpful conversations amongst friends, family and the community, discuss mental health and wellbeing and to support those struggling with life.

About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day.

For every death it is estimated that another 30 people will attempt suicide. 

Just let those numbers sink in for a moment, please.

It costs nothing to check in with those you care about (or even those you don't!) but it may put a positive spark into a negative frame of mind or even help save a life.

As part of my fundraising efforts I will be donating one dollar from each Portuguese Tart sold in September.

Thank you to everyone whole bought one Portuguese Tart (or more!) at the Saturday market, you raised $48. 

A big thank you to those who have already donated to my fundraising page - Michael Longmore, Sue Longmore and Barb Howard - I really appreciate it.

If you would like to make a donation then please do it here - https://join.ruok.org.au/fundraisers/cathysabbo

Keep your eyes open for a special fundraising biscuit box which I'll launch on Thursday 8th September to mark R U OK? DAY. 

I will also be announcing a fundraising raffle and prizes shortly. 

Thank you and please take the time to look out for those around you xx 

What we plan to do in September

Thursday 18th Aug
For the month of September The Potoroo Pantry will be donating $1 from every Portuguese Tart purchased to R U OK? to support suicide prevention and share the message of reaching out and connecting with those around us.

We will have some special Conversation Starter and Care Package biscuit packs for sale and $5 from each pack purchased will be donated.

We will also hold a raffle with all proceeds to be donated to the  R U OK? charity. The prizes will include a special custom baked cake to share with loved ones or surprise someone with, and a bouquet of locally grown native flowers. 

More details to come...
