Promotion: Barbecue for Prostate Cancer
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. In Australia, September also means the start of Spring, football finals and, of course, Father's Day…all great reasons to have a barbecue. By hosting a barbecue for your family, friends, community group, colleagues or team mates, and asking each guest to make a donation, you can play an important part in the fight against this disease.
By participating in the 'Barbecue for Prostate Cancer' and asking guests to contribute a donation, you can make a significant impact in the fight against this, the most common cancer diagnosed in Australia (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers). Funds raised will help the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) continue to fund vital, world-class Australian research into the cause, treatment and prevention of prostate cancer.

A crisis exists in our education system.
A crisis exists in our education system. Did you know that almost half of all Australians struggle with literacy? It is amazing to think in such a wealthy, secure and modern country as Australia we are so far behind.
The Exodus Foundation has seven centres nationally solely dedicated to confronting this crisis head on. This year over 300 students will enrol in our Literacy Tutorial Centres, many are over 2 years behind their peers – some are up to 5 years. 5 years!
Most, if not all, of these children will be brought up to their correct "reading age" however; it is a struggle and they need your help.
