Project Spotlight

Welcome to Givewell's Project Spotlight. Each month we highlight a project for which a charity is currently seeking funds. We also provide details on how to give directly for this project.

Organisation:	Diabetes Australia-NSW
Project Name:	The Great Australian Bite

Project description: Diabetes is the sixth highest cause of death by diseases in Australia, and is growing fast, with 3 million Australians already diagnosed with diabetes, or pre-diabetes. Yet for every one person diagnosed, another is not, so it is vital that we raise general awareness of the disease as well as funds towards finding a cure.

The Great Australian Bite is a national community participation event organised by Diabetes Australia-NSW, that aims to raise general awareness of the disease and to raise vital funds for research towards finding a cure and helping those who live with the deadly disease.

A 'bite' is simply a get together of any sort held anytime during April to raise money for diabetes. Gather your colleagues, friends or family and invite them to join you for drinks and nibbles, a sausage sizzle, a coffee break, breakfast, lunch, dinner - the choice is yours!

To be a part of this fun and vital event, register to host a 'bite' by calling 1300 136 588 or go to www.greataustralianbite.com.au
