Funds raised over the last 11 years through our online platform  (Grassrootz) for a variety of charities has now totalled $1,490,481 and through Movember (raising funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and mental Health) have also raised $1,212,149.  The Mobart Mobros group have been a major driving force behind this outstanding total and we would like to thank and encourage them to continue their amazing work for this great cause.

It is easy to see what an amazing and positive difference we can all make to others if we help raise some much needed funds for a cause close to our hearts.

We are extremely proud of the P2P fundraising tally since we moved in this direction 11 years ago and in this short time have managed to raise a collective $2,702,630 for a wide range of charities and organisations.

This year we have also partnered with Carries Beanies 4 Brain Cancer (CB4BC), with the aim being to raise significant funds for brain cancer research. We hope many of you will join the CB4BC team and be a part of the fundraising journey this year.

We encourage you to raise as much as you possibly can, encourage others to get involved in raising funds and hope to collectively raise over $500,000 again in 2022.

Please set up your Grassrootz Fundraising Page as a part of your registration process and then the links provided in your confirmation of registration email.

Check out the Event Booklet for further information on fundraising and fundraising tips and ideas.
