Charter Hall Retail shopping centres and Boost Juice have unleashed the ‘Blender Bender’ – a dynamic event raising funds and awareness for better mental health support.
Over a fun filled three-day event, kickstarting on R U OK?Day, Thursday 14th September, the Blender Bender was an exciting initiative which blended fitness, fun, and charity support into one.
Charter Hall’s Retail Marketing Manager, Anastasia O’Hara, said: “With mental health challenges on the rise and impacting Australians nationwide, Charter Hall was on a mission through the Blender Bender initiative to help those in need. Teaming up with tenant customer Boost Juice as well as R U OK? and ReachOut, Charter Hall strived to nurture a stronger sense of belonging in our communities. Assisting in raising awareness of mental health challenges, igniting positive conversations and creating a meaningful difference in local communities.”
Six Charter Hall shopping centres across NSW invited customers to get involved by jumping on a bike to raise funds and blend a smoothie at the same time. The campaign saw 227 shoppers engaged, raising more than $3,450 in donations.
