$54,000. One incredible night. One incredible community. 💙

What a night.

The Project 365 Gala Ball brought our community together for something much bigger than an event — and together, we raised an incredible $54,000 for our community.

To our event sponsors — thank you. Your support made this night possible and allowed us to create something truly special. We are incredibly fortunate to have local businesses who don't just put their name behind Project 365, but genuinely believe in what we are trying to achieve.

To the businesses and individuals who generously donated auction items and prizes, your contributions played a huge part in what we were able to raise on the night. Thank you for getting behind us.

And to everyone who bought a ticket, raised a paddle, placed a bid, made a donation, volunteered or simply showed up and backed us — thank you.

These photos capture what Project 365 is all about.

People coming together. People backing each other. A community that believes we can make a genuine difference when it comes to mental health in our region.

And this $54,000 comes on top of the $54,000 Project 365 has already committed to youth mental health education across Wangaratta's schools.

Another incredible show of belief from our community, giving us the opportunity to keep building, keep investing and keep finding new ways to support mental health across our region.

We couldn't do any of this without you. 💙

Backed by Belief. Driven by Community.

🏃‍♂️ 42.2km for Project 365 ❤️

Sunday, 13 October, our friend Mario Anania will take on the Melbourne Marathon — his very first full marathon.
42.2km is an enormous physical and mental challenge, but Mario has chosen to take it on while raising funds and awareness for something that matters deeply to him, Project 365.
For Mario, the connection is a personal one.
Pete has been one of Mario’s oldest friends, with a friendship that goes right back to their younger years. Pete, his brother Joe and their mate Peter Grinter welcomed Mario into their circle, and what followed was a lifetime of friendship.
There were countless afternoons at the Rourke’s — cricket in summer, football in winter and, apparently, plenty of arguments over Mario’s awesome old bike! 😂

Those friendships, memories and connections to this community have stayed with Mario throughout his life. Now, he’s chosen to give something back by taking on one hell of a challenge in support of Project 365.

We are incredibly grateful that Mario has chosen to run 42.2km to help us continue building resilience, breaking down the stigma around mental health and supporting people across our community.

There will no doubt be some tough kilometres ahead, but we know Mario will give it everything he has.

Thank you, Mario, for putting one foot in front of the other for Project 365. ❤️

If you would like to get behind Mario, every donation — big or small — helps us continue the work of Project 365 in our community.

We’ll be cheering you all the way to that finish line, Mario! 🏃‍♂️❤️

24 hours. One community. One huge challenge.💙🏃

From 10am Saturday 31 October to 10am Sunday 1 November, Harry Lindsey is taking on 24 hours of continuous movement to raise funds for Project 365.

Harry will be walking and running for the full 24 hours, and we’d love to see plenty of people down there moving alongside him.

You can join him for five minutes, an hour or as long as you like. Walk a few laps, go for a run, bring your sporting club or training group down, run a session or just come along and keep him company.

Harry’s going to need plenty of support, especially when it gets into those tougher hours overnight!

All funds raised will go straight back into Project 365 to support more mental health initiatives in our community.

So grab your mates, your club, your family or just yourself and come move with Harry.

24 FOR 365

Thanks Claire for the chat! 💙

$54,000 into youth mental health education across Wangaratta Local Schools.

16/08/2026

Last night, we announced something we’re incredibly proud of. 💙

Project 365 is investing $54,000 into youth mental health education across Wangaratta — in a project that we believe is the first of its kind in regional Victoria.

This funding, raised by our incredible community of believers, will deliver mental health training to more than 400 Year 8 students, as well as 27 teachers and administration staff across all of Wangaratta’s high schools.

We’re incredibly proud to partner with WASP and Nick from Mental Health Coach to make this happen — with training kicking off Monday!

We believe we need to get to our young people earlier.

Give them the tools to understand their mental health.
Give them the confidence to ask for help.
Give them the skills to recognise when a mate might be struggling.

Mental health education shouldn’t start when someone is already in crisis.

We need to get the training into our youth. We need to support them. And we need to give them the tools to look after themselves and each other.

And this is what makes us so proud…

$54,000 raised by our community of believers, being invested straight back into our young people.

This is what Project 365 is all about.

Creating change.
Starting conversations.
And making sure mental health matters 365 days a year. 💙
