Thank you for considering hosting a BBQ to raise funds toward the fight against prostate cancer. Here are some tips that might help you make the most of your BBQ for Prostate Cancer.
When?
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. In Australia, September also means
Father’s Day, football finals, and end of season sports club gatherings – all great reasons to
have a BBQ.
However, if September doesn’t suit, or if you already have another event planned for
another time, you can host a BBQ for Prostate Cancer whenever you like.
Who?
While prostate cancer is a male disease, its effect is far reaching. Wives and partners,
brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, grandchildren and friends – all are impacted by a
diagnosis of prostate cancer. This is why a BBQ for Prostate Cancer is a great reason to get
everyone involved.
Remember, many hands make light work, so make sure you ask for help if needed. Even
better, have a committee who’ll take responsibility for different tasks.
What?
We’re suggesting a BBQ – but if that isn’t suitable, it could be anything that brings people
together. You may like a theme, or to include it as part of a sporting finals event. If you’re
organising the event in memory of a loved one, how about linking it to one of their
interests?
How?
- Some things to think about when planning your BBQ for Prostate Cancer:
- What food and refreshments will be served
- How will you get the message out?
- Email or post the invitation
- Call people, or ask them in person
- Download the poster and place it where people can see it (click here)
- Use other networking opportunities – newsletter, intranet etc
- Will you have entertainment?
