RU OK? Day Event.

 

UBMBC held their annual RU OK? event at the Club on Wednesday 11th September. The successful event was co-ordinated by Rex Hunt, with much appreciated help from Ron Austin, Robin Hill, Lee Cribbs, Glenn Simington and others....
Over 60 UBMBC members took part in the event, which was sponsored by Connect Hearing. Charlotte Lea from Connect Hearing conducted free hearing tests and presented the major raffle prize of a specialist headset, to winner Damien McPherson.
R U OK? is an Australian non-profit suicide prevention organisation, founded by advertiser Gavin Larkin in 2009. It revolves around the slogan "R U OK?" and advocates for people to have conversations with others. The organisation holds a dedicated R U OK?
As well as raising awareness of Men's mental health issues, the attendees raised about $1,200 for the RU OK? Charity and also had a lot of fun, as the following photos will attest to.
Many thanks to everyone involved in this very important day....
