For one day only, all Funlab venues will have $5 deals to help you have a Day of Fun. All the profits will go towards headspace, a foundation that supports the mental health of young people. Sing some karaoke, play laser tag or go bowling on the cheap, at 20 venues around Victoria. Funlab’s annual Day of Fun will take place on Tuesday September 5. Bookings are available now.
Day of Fun by Funlab
Whether your want to connect with your mates or just destress after work, you’ll be sure to have a good time at any of the Funlab venues, including Hijinx Hotel, Holey Moley, Strike Bowling and Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq. And you’ll have an even better time, knowing that your money will go towards supporting young people.
This year, they’re hoping to raise $300,000. Proceeds from the day will go towards participating headspace centres, as well headspace Online Communities. This is a real-time, peer-led group chat service held by young people, for young people. Peer Support Moderators from around the country are trained to provide support and moderate topics like navigating relationships and coping with tough times. In the past year, online communities were used more than 110,000 times.
If Funlab reach their goal of $300,000, that means that they will have raised over $1 million for headspace since 2016.
“We want to encourage everyone to jump online and book an activity slot at their local Funlab for $5, or come down on the day and get involved,” said Funlab CEO Michael Schreiber. “This is an opportunity for us to not only raise funds for a very important charity, but to support youth mental health, while providing a fun experience for friends and families.”
