GSC Finance presents 2026 Movember Fundraiser
Description
We're getting Geelong & the Surf Coast together for an afternoon on Friday 20 November to raise money for men's health.
It's a simple afternoon. You arrive from 12pm, you get a drink put in your hand, you have some food and network with business owners, professionals and supporters from all over Geelong and the Surf Coast community. There's live music, a panel of great speakers to be announced, and a raffle and auction with some genuinely good prizes.
Too many men we know are doing it tough and not saying a word. Movember funds the research and the mental-health programs that change that. Every ticket, every raffle ticket and every bid on the day goes towards the great work of the foundation.
Everyone's welcome. Bring your partner, bring your teammates, bring your boss. Grab a table of mates and make an afternoon of it.
