If you would prefer to not fundraise, but still wish to recgonise White Balloon Day, there are other ways you can get involved.
You can raise awareness about the prevention of child sexual assault by simply taking part in our 2017 social media campaign #WhoRUprotecting? Or if you prefer to do something offline, below are some suggested awareness activities you could plan to mark the day.
Take part in our 2017 social media campaign #WhoRUProtecing? and use social media to raise awareness about the prevention of child sexual assault. All you need to do is:
STEP 1: Snap a selfie with the name of who you are protecting this White Balloon Day written on your palm (i.e. ‘MY CHILDREN’ ‘AUSSIE KIDS’ ‘MY DAUGHTER’ ‘MY STUDENTS’ etc.
STEP 2: Upload your selfie to social media accompanied by the hashtags #whoRUprotecting #WhiteBalloonDay #Bravehearts
Bravehearts will track and record these posts across social media and select the best examples to highlight on our own social media platforms on White Balloon Day.
Here are a few non-fundraising related ways you could mark White Balloon Day this year. Bravehearts would love to see pictures of any of these activities, so don’t forget to send them in to us via email whiteballoonday@bravehearts.org.au
This year Bravehearts is coordinating a National Chalk Art Project, asking our supporters to create chalk art murals.
The competition is open to Individual Supporters, as well as Community Groups and Schools. There are no limits to what you create, but it must have the theme of white balloons.
