Paint the Town Purple

We’re bringing communities together across Canberra and Bateman’s Bay for a friendly competition with a Suburb Showdown! Join your local Goodwin team and help us build a wave of support for those affected by dementia. We’re competing to see which community can rally the most participants and donations.

Not directly connected to a Goodwin suburb or service? You’re still welcome!

Represent your preferred suburb or join our welcoming Team Goodwin Corporate & Friends. Even if you can’t walk or jog, your donation will help make a real difference.

Team Goodwin Schools Challenge

We warmly invite all local schools, students, staff, and families, to walk alongside our Goodwin residents and clients. This is a unique opportunity to connect generations, share stories, and walk down memory lane together.

Dementia affects thousands of Australian families, impacting our own nans and pops.

Raising dementia awareness among young people provides vital insight into the worlds of their loved ones potentially living with dementia, and fosters a deeper understanding and sensitivity to navigate family challenges around this disease.

When your school registers, every dollar you raise will be added to your local Suburb Team tally. Help us reach our $100,000 goal for Dementia Australia and make a lasting impact.
