Get your thongs on! Date Claimer - 1 & 2 October

 

Mark your diary because October 1 & 2 will see a footwear revolution, as Youngcare hosts their very first Thong Day national awareness day.

 

Reflecting Australia’s laid-back, beach lifestyle and what it means to be young, Australians will be swept up in thong fever and don their thongs for a truly worthy cause – helping to provide choice in care and accommodation options for young Australians with 24/7 care needs.

 

While many details are still under wraps, Youngcare can reveal that specially branded Youngcare thongs are being developed by the makers of Havaianas – Dupe – which will be available for purchase Australia-wide in Terry White pharmacies.

 

Perhaps the biggest and most exciting part of Thong Day, is the epic national ‘Thong-a-thon’.  You have never seen any type of  ‘a-thon’ like it, and Thong Day’s ‘Thong-a-thon’ is set to revolutionise the very definition of a National Fundraising Event.

 

Supporters all over the country, from all walks of life will be encouraged to host a ‘Thong-a-thon’ of their choosing by gathering with friends, family or co-workers and host an event of their choosing for Youngcare – the only pre-requisite: you must do it in thongs!

 

The type of Thong-a-thon you choose is completely up to you, limited only by your imagination.  Examples can be Thong-a-thons such as a ‘Ping-pong-a-thong’ , a ‘High-tea-a-thong’, or even a ‘River-dance-a-thong’.

 

Youngcare’s work has only ever been made possible through the combined support of many and this is what thong day is all about.  Connection with each other in a fun and meaningful way to ensure that every young person is able to live a young life, regardless of their care needs.  

 

Thong Day is Youngcare’s first attempt of achieving this on a national level, and it’s going to be big.
