Blue Tie Long Lunch
VIC: Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne
When: May 10
QLD: The Gabba, Brisbane
When: May 17
batyr’s signature event, The Blue Tie Ball, has been now been running for 12 years in Sydney, and in 2023 we held the inaugural Blue Tie Long lunch in Brisbane, raising an incredible $40,794, allowing 1,359 young people to experience a batyr program.
In 2024, we are thrilled to announce that we’ll not only be bringing this event back to Brisbane, but also to Melbourne! That's right, this year we’re doubling the fun by expanding the Blue Tie Long Lunch to Victoria.
Every dollar raised at a 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.
You’ll be treated to a delicious meal with premium beverages while listening to a special guest speaker and a batyr storyteller sharing their lived experience. Enjoy entertainment including a raffle, silent auction and a unique opportunity to network with other like-minded people who are also motivated to make a positive impact within the community.
