Bongaree Dental is proud to be supporting ‘Jeans for Genes’. Our team at Bongaree Dental want to help discover treatments and cures for childhood genetic diseases and cancers, to give every child the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. This year we’ve decided to take on their brand-new event, the Sofa to 6k challenge.

We’ll be challenging our wonderful Bongaree Dental team, and our Bribie Island community, to go from the Sofa to 6 km on Sunday the 21st of August to raise much needed funds to help find cures for the 6,000+ genetic diseases that affect our Aussie kids. We welcome our Bribie Island community to join our Sofa to 6km challenge this year. If you can’t join us on the day but would still like to donate, you can sponsor our team, along with your Bribie Island community.

Would you like to join our Bongaree Dental fun team and do the walk, jog, or run? If so, scan the attached QR code for the link to donate. Importantly, remember to add your name to the donation so we can pair your participation number. Any amount, no matter how large or small, is welcome.

We will have your participation number at the start line (Sunset Park Bribie Island) on the day. Please see attached map for the course on the day.

Date: Sunday 21st August

Time: 8:30 am start

Meeting point: Sunset Park Bribie Island

Bongaree Dental will also be putting on a free sausage sizzle for the fun runners doing the event or just donating towards the ‘Jeans for Genes’.
