Healthier Illawarra Men will host its fourth annual International Men's Day Lunch. This year's event promises to be extra special, featuring special guest Lord Ian Botham OBE.
Healthier Illawarra Men (HIM) is a nonprofit organisation passionate about promoting men's health in the Illawarra region.
Their charter is to:
1. Raise awareness of men’s health issues, including mental health, and to encourage men to be more proactive regarding their own health.
2. Raise awareness of appropriate behaviours to prevent domestic, family and sexual violence.
The International Men's Day lunch is one of the organisation's most successful widely anticipated events in the region. Money raised is dispersed to programs and services for the betterment of men's health and mental health in Illawarra.
Beneficiaries include The Man Walk, Raising the Bar Foundation, Gotcha4Life, Gawura, Escabags, Top Blokes Foundation, What Were You Wearing, and Lifeline.
This year the St George Illawarra Dragons is the Presenting Partner for the 2025 Healthier Illawarra Men International Men’s Day Lunch.
HIM describes the partnership as a “game-changer” that will take the HIM message further than ever before. "The Dragons are a natural fit for HIM as they are more than a football club, they show up for our community and for each other. We’re proud to stand alongside them to drive real conversations about mental fitness, healthy relationships and breaking down stereotypes," HIM posted on their Facebook page.
