White Balloon Day
White Balloon Day is on Tuesday 8th September. White Balloon Day is a national event; it is a day we all get to be involved in protecting children against sexual assault.
Currently one in five children are sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday BUT – we can change this. Get involved in White Balloon Day and send all children and survivors everywhere a message of support, belief and respect.
Try these ideas:-
- Tie a white balloon to your letterbox, pot plant at work, counter or street sign.
- Hold a Wear White Day at your office or workplace or perhaps hold a White Tea.
- Visit your local Terry White Pharmacy and buy one our really lovely ‘enviro shopping bags for just $2. In fact, if you can use Terry White Pharmacies always as a preference that would be great – they are great supporters of child protection.
Visit your local Bendigo Bank and make a donation – every cent helps….
- $10 buys a child a personal safety education program
- $25 buys a crisis counselling/support session
- $50 buys a specialist therapy session
This is your chance to do something to help children AND publicly SAY NO to sexual assault. Channel 9 and the 4BC radio network are supporting this campaign as are Terry White Chemists, Bendigo Bank, Nutrimetics, Rotary and others. It is your choice – how will you support this day?

Remember, when it comes to CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT, IT’S ALL WHITE TO SAY NO!
