Get your thongs on Australia!

Australians love nothing more than the feeling of the wind in their (toe) hairs so what could be better than a national Thong Day?

Youngcare is asking all Australians to don a pair of pluggers for charity on Friday October 1st. The idea is simple: release your feet from their footwear prison for a day and raise money by doing one of the following things:

- Hosting a Thong-a-thon
- Buying a pair of specially branded Youngcare thongs (made by the same people who make Havaianas so guaranteed to be comfy) from a Terry White Chemist for $14.95
- Sponsoring someone who is hosting a Thong-a-thon

What, you may fairly ask, is a Thong-a-thon? It can be described as any activity performed wearing thongs. A pong-a-thong, a high tea-a-thong, an office-a-thong – absolutely any kind of ‘thon’ you like! Can’t do your Thong-a-thon on a Friday? That’s OK because Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd are also open for events.

Youngcare CEO Marina Vit invites all Australian’s to join in the fun of Thong Day, while remembering the Youngcare cause.

“It’s clearly inappropriate that young people with 24/7 care needs are living in aged care, because there are very few other options available,” Ms Vit said.

“Youngcare is committed to providing change and choice for these young Australians with high care needs.”
