About Boardies Day
What is Boardies Day?
Boardies Day is an annual fundraising initiative of the Surf Life Saving Foundation.
We encourage all Australians to wear their boardshorts or other beach-themed attire to work or school and make a donation to help our volunteer surf lifesavers.
When is Boardies Day?
The date for 2010 is still being finalised.
Where does the money raised go?
All funds raised during Boardies Day will support the work of our volunteer lifesavers across the country.
When you bank your monies you will have the choice to either donate your funds directly to a participating Surf Life Saving Club or allocate them to priority lifesaving services in your State.
