Dress Code: Cocktail
What to expect at the Blue Tie lunch?
Enjoy an afternoon of storytelling, entertainment, raffles, a delicious meal, premium beverages, and more. It’s an opportunity to hear more about batyr’s work, whilst dining with other like-minded people who are motivated to positively impact the lives of young people across the country.
Why the Blue Tie?
batyr’s signature event, The Blue Tie Ball, has been running for over 12 years in Sydney, and we’re thrilled to be bringing a taste of the Blue Tie brand to Melbourne this year.
Why attend the Fundraising Lunch?
Now more than ever, our programs are critical; 2 in 5 young Australians experience mental ill-health, and suicide is the leading cause of death for young people.
Every dollar raised at the Blue Tie Long lunch supports batyr’s school and university programs, which empower young Australians with mental health literacy, reduce stigma surrounding mental illness, and increase help-seeking behaviour.
We’ve reached and supported more than 400,000 young people ensuring they have the tools, knowledge and support systems in place to look after their mental health and support one another. But there are still so many young lives at risk.
With your support, we’re excited to make an even bigger impact and empower more young Australians to get through tough times and look out for their mates. This is an 18 years and older event.
