OPU Dawdlers

Move for Mental Health 2023

We did it!!

Congratulations to these superstars AKA " OPAU Dawdlers". I have lost count of how many times I have increased our goal to achieve this great outcome. You all should be super proud of your efforts with this fundraiser, I know I am and this demonstrates your passion and commitment to your job, but more so to your patients. The money raised from this fundraiser makes such a difference to the people we care for and to know we have raised $7000 is incredible. Let's all get our thinking caps on for next year where we raise the bar higher. Thank you to everyone in our team who worked so hard to achieve this outcome. Super, super stoked!

Congratulations to all our winners but more so, congratulations to Team OPAU Dawdlers for a fantastic month of fundraising with a great result. 

Let's make the last week count!!

Dawdlers have been plodding along and again we have raised our target to $5000!! We are confident we can pull this off and set us up with a target for next year.

Fundraising time!

Team Dawdlers have been busy getting donations from our local community and making up some great raffle prizes. Tickets will be on sale this week.
We also have some Move for Mental Health cookies that we will be selling for $5 each...and after a taste test, they are pretty good.

Look out next week!

Dawdlers have been planning some fundraising activities which you will soon see...stay tuned!

How far can we go?

We have again raised the fundraising target and are getting pretty pumped about how far we can go. Look out for some fundraising challenges coming soon...Great work OPU Dawdlers :)

Not even half way through September and already kicking our fourth fundraising goal!


 

What donations have been used for previously:

·        Entry to fitness facilities local to patients, across the Loddon Mallee area

·        Equipment such as shoes to enable patients to participate in physical activity

·        Sporting equipment for patients with a preference for sport and games rather than fitness facilities

·        Transport to access fitness facilities

 

We’re wanting to fundraise for more access for more people.

Dawdlers are just warming up

Look out, we have just got our mojo and starting to get a wiggle on. Never under estimate the Dawdlers...they are full of suprises!

OPU Dawdlers are far from dawdling....

Look at us go!! There is no stopping this amazing team for kicking goals and getting behind this great fundraiser. We see first hand the benefits of having an exercise program for our patients, the joy it brings them after a good sesh at the gym!!

We are fundraising for...

Our team represents the Older Persons Acute Mental Health unit, and we have  signed up to participate in the 2023 Move for Mental Health challenge. We support this fundraiser as we have seen the benefits of this for our patients. Our patients have the opportunity to be involved in an exercise program  under the guidance of our Exercise Physiologist, and with a fully decked out gym, and opportunity for individual and group programs, we are so grateful our patients can participate.  Supporting Move for Mental Health will help raise funds to  improve mental health services for patients throughout the Loddon Mallee region. 100% of the proceeds go to Bendigo Health. Please support our efforts by making a donation or sharing our fundraising page to your social network, thank you.
