R U OK? is a national suicide prevention charity that encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times. The charity focuses on building the motivation, confidence and skills of the help-giver – the person who can have a meaningful conversation with someone who is struggling with life. R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support networks such as friends, family and colleagues to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they’re in crisis.
The Club will be engaging in the following two fundraising initiatives in support of R U OK? Day:
NTP competitions are scheduled for the men on Wednesday 11 September 2024 and the ladies on Thursday 12 September 2024 in support of this cause. These NTPs will be held in addition to the NTP in the day’s competition and the winners will each receive a $200 golf shop voucher. The R U OK? Day NTPs will be on hole 7 of The Pines golf course on both days.
Men’s R U OK? Day NTP: Hole 7 – Wednesday 11 September 2024
Ladies’ R U OK? Day NTP: Hole 7 – Thursday 12 September 2024
NTP entry: $17 competition fee (fee includes a $5 donation to R U OK?)
Cupcakes will be available for $5 each or six for $25 on Thursday 12 September 2024, with all proceeds going to R U OK?. Cupcakes can be purchased online in advance by completing the form below. They will also be available from the Club’s coffee cart, located at The Pines bag drop from 6:30am and Lakeview Bar from 11:30am, unless sold out prior.
