This year the male members of the choir have signed up to raise money for the ‘Polished Man’ campaign.

They have called their team ‘BUNDY’S POLISHED PUB ROCK CHOIRBOYS’ (click here to view their team page — you can also donate to the Bundy team on that page). One of the great things they are doing is hosting a ‘BUNDY’S POLISHED MEN FUNDRAISER’ right here at Oodies Cafe on Friday the 11th October 2019. The details of the event are below:

• When: Friday 11th October 2019.
• Start Time: The fundraiser will start at 7pm (food available from 5:30pm)

There will be live music, entertainment, raffles, comedy, door prize and information about the Polished Man campaign. Men and women are most welcome.

You can purchase your ticket here. It is only $20. Seating is limited so we recommend booking asap.

The Bundy team have also supplied some PDF documents for download:

• The Event Poster 
• A Sponsor Letter – for those who wish to sponsor (including businesses) and/or provide raffle prizes

What is THE POLISHED MAN Campaign?

The Polished Man campaign is founded by the Australian-based nonprofit YGAP, which aims to raise awareness for victims of childhood abuse. They report that one child dies every 5 minutes as a result of violence. That’s one too many. Any violence against children should not happen. During October they challenge all men and women to take a stand and actively commit to ending violence against children by painting one fingernail. Here are some reasons why they request doing this:

• Fingernails that spark conversations.
• Conversations that inspire donations.
• Donations that allow for trauma recovery and trauma prevention for children around the world.
• Because it shouldn’t hurt to be a child.
• Help end violence against children.

More information about Polished Man can be found on their website. It is well worth having a look. Amongst many things, you can see how much they have raised so far, where the money goes and how to start your own fundraising efforts.

Chris Hemsworth is amongst those who have previously painted 1 fingernail in support of the challenge. Info about this is here.

4Ocean.com have stuck in our mind since we saw the post about them on Facebook last year. They seem to be doing great things, so we decided to post about them here on our website. I remember once being told that “oceans are the lungs of the earth”.
Thinking about water in general, I also remember that movie where they thought they could successfully water crops with Gatorade. If you’ve never seen that movie, it’s called ‘Idiocracy’. Here is a link to it on YouTube. I digress.

We have also added a 4Ocean badge to the bottom of our website — our website team over at Green Valley Digital created the badge. Please check out the 4Ocean website to learn more about what they do.

On their website they also explain:
“When you purchase the 4Ocean Bracelet, our captains and crews will remove one pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines on your behalf.”

At the time of writing this blog article, their website says, “6,078,453 pounds of trash removed from the ocean and coastlines by paid 4ocean employees since 2017 through the sale of our products.”

They also sell other products on their website too if you want to have a look and consider buying.
