OUR EVENTS
The purpose behind all of White Owl’s work is to embody the five key values that are the major driving force behind the organisation.
Since 2016, the annual fundraising event has coincided with an AFL game and has fostered open conversations around the topic of men’s health. The events, have raised extraordinary amounts of money and support for our main partner, the Australian Prostate Centre (APC). Alongside fundraising efforts, the events have been substantial in building a strong community for everyday men to come together and share their own stories.
Over the years, our work wouldn’t be made possible without the amazing support from all of our supporters, corporate sponsors, attendees and volunteers.
OUR PREVIOUS EVENTS
2016
The first White Owl fundraising event was hosted at Etihad Stadium on the 26th of May 2016.
Following the loss of two close mates in the second half of 2015 to prostate cancer and suicide, this event was aimed at raising awareness for both of those topics.
The event coincided with the round 9 AFL game between North Melbourne and Carlton, as both mates were passionate about the teams.
This event raised nearly $35,000 and all funds raised went to assisting APCR and Beyond Blue.
2017
The successful second event was hosted at Etihad Stadium on the 3rd of June 2017, coinciding with a North Melbourne and Richmond game.
White Owl 2017 was an amazing success and raised $78,457.36 for our partner charities Australian Prostate Cancer Research and Black Dog Institute.
