Why we’re Sweating with Pride

The Melbourne Chargers are taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for our rainbow communities! 💦🌈

Our schools, workplaces, and doctors’ offices are still not safe places for many rainbow folk and it’s putting lives at risk.

Almost 3 million Australians identify as LGBTQIA+. However, despite significant progress, our communities are far from equal. Our communities have the highest rates of suicidality compared with any other populations in Australia, and less than 50% of rainbow youth feel safe at school. Things need to change.

So, this June we’re fighting discrimination with perspiration, and we’ve committed to exercising for at least 21 minutes EVERY DAY to raise money to support Australia's LGBTQIA+ communities.

This cause means a lot to the Chargers, and we reckon we can smash this goal (and our Forwards will appreciate the extra cardio). Every dollar we raise will fund life-changing support services for Australia's rainbow communities.
