Join Astrea in supporting The Humour Foundation through STRYDE4 Day!

We are utilising STRYDE4 day as an incredible platform to raise funds and demonstrate our support for The Humour Foundation, a national charity dedicated to providing joyful humour and insightful connection to hospitals across Australia through evidence-based humour therapy. Their flagship program, the Clown Doctors, is grounded in a simple premise: Bringing joy to children and young adults with life limiting illnesses. 

It is an exceptionally meaningful cause, and its impact extends far beyond simply putting smiles on faces. The ability to create uplifting experiences in an environment characteristically devoid of laughter and joy provides shared moments of happiness and respite for parents, family and healthcare workers.

Our humour is one of the things that keep the Astrea team going. We want to do all we can to help bring joy to those who need it far more than we do.

STRYDE4 DAY

You are invited to join us for STRYDE4 Day, a community focused event designed to empower collaboration across charity sectors through health and wellbeing initiatives to deliver meaningful impact.

Join the Astrea team, our community and hundreds of other STRYDERs for a celebration of purpose, community and health. You’ll be treated to breathtaking views along the stunning eastern beaches, from Bondi Beach to La Perouse, while enjoying mini challenges, live entertainment, and a delicious lunch at the finish line.

OUR GOALS

Fundraise for a great cause – First and foremost, this event serves as a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for The Humour Foundation and the incredible work they do. We’ve set an initial goal of $10,000 for our team and community.

Establish a community event – We want to make this event one of great involvement and benefit to our community and wider industry. STRYDE4 Day provides a platform for industry engagement, networking and socialisation whilst making a meaningful contribution to those in need.

Enable competition for good – Competition is an inherent part of our industry, and we are encouraging this healthy opposition to drive our community fundraising. Each corporate team and event attendee will be challenging each other to see who can raise the most money.

Promote health and wellbeing – STRYDE4 Day is a physical challenge that gives every participant the opportunity to focus on individual health and wellbeing, in addition to the benefits of collective teamwork and social inclusion.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION

Whether it is taking part in the event, or simply donating an amount large or small, there are a range of ways to help us bring joy and laughter to those who need it most.

Join us on the day: Register as an individual or team to take part in the event, alongside community leaders, suppliers and clients.

Donate to the cause: We understand that not everyone will be able to take part in the event, but still extend the invitation to contribute to our cause. Every donation goes a long way.

Engage your community: The more people involved, the greater the impact. Active fundraising within your own community will significantly extend the outreach of our efforts.

WHAT IT MEANS

By participating, your fundraising efforts will help The Humour Foundation more than double the number of Clown Doctor visits to Bear Cottage, a dedicated children’s hospice providing essential care and comfort to children with life-limiting conditions. 

You’ll also support the transition of these children into the Manly Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice (AYAH), ensuring they continue to benefit from the unique care and joy provided by The Humour Foundation's exceptional purpose-trained performers.

Help us STRYDE4 a lasting impact on our community and our cause. Thank you for your support!
