Register yourself for some mind-expanding springtime new-ness at www.30dayshasseptember.com and help raise money for The Ted Noffs Foundation Street University.

By encouraging your friends to sponsor you for every new experience you try or via a one-off payment through your fanpage, you will be supporting a program that provides services for Aussie kids who have been affected by substance abuse, mental illness and/or homelessness.

The concept for 30 Days Has September was dreamed up by a group of mates who decided that spring was the perfect time to get out and live a little.

As one of the co-founders Van Vuuren says, “It all started as a bit of Facebook fun amongst our friends and has snowballed into this major charity project. We chose to support the Street University because it’s all about new beginnings and a fresh start for those Aussie kids that have been dealt some hard cards in life. It’s a perfect fit!”

Fresh from the Adelaide Caberet Festival, and wooing the crowd with his memorable Broadway classics, it’s set to be a bright and brilliant show to entertain the mums.

“I look at my wife with our beautiful new baby boy and it’s intense. Being a new parent is incredible, and I know from experience, it can be tiring! It’s a pleasure to entertain these MumSpace winners for a night of relaxation and entertainment,” said David Campbell.

“Increasingly MumSpace is welcoming mums of all ages to play online and connect. We see it as the alternate Mother’s Group that’s easy to access (unlike some real-life Mother’s Groups). What mum doesn’t deserve a night off?  We’re rewarding Mums with a night out with David Campbell, one of Australia’s favourite performers,” said Lisa Phillips, Director of Marketing, Toga Hospitality.

Medina’s MumSpace is a new easy-to-access interactive Facebook forum for mums that’s fast becoming the meeting place for mums. A place to share, purge, rant, chat and even just sit back and enjoy the conversations, it’s a virtual Mother’s Group in just a click. It provides hot travel tips, topical conversations, cool product recommendations and is showering lucky mums with the chance to win a night out with David Campbell.

To enter, all Mums have to do is be a member of MumSpace and answer a simple question. Tell us why you need a night off?

July 2010: 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.”
Once you’ve planned your event, register it at www.thongday.com.au or call 1300YOUNGCARE

It provides hot travel tips, topical conversations, cool product recommendations and is showering lucky mums with the chance to win an overnight stay at the Medina of their choice.

“Medina Apartment Hotels are a home away from home for thousands of mums (and their families) across Australia. We wanted to create an irreverent space to support and spoil these special guests even when they’re not on holiday.

MumSpace is a ‘place’ where mums can swap tips, meet other like-minded women and maybe even enjoy a stay at Medina Apartment Hotels. It’s easy to click onto MumSpace and spend as little or as much time as you like. Mums are busy and they need quick bites of information, MumSpace is a great forum for the time-poor, information hungry mamas with a sense of humour!” said Lisa Phillips, Director of Marketing for Medina Apartment Hotels.

Medina Apartment Hotels prides itself on being a family-friendly accommodation option which offers consistent quality. The space, style and service coupled with a sense of privacy makes the apartments a fantastic place to entertain or relax with the family in your new city location – an ideal home away from home.

While Medina is perfect for an extended stay, families are choosing to stay for the weekend as well. Medina is the ideal place for family holidays, whether it’s an overnight stay or a longer visit, Medina Apartment Hotels really is the ideal MumSpace.

For even more indulgence that’s perfect for Mums, Medina Apartment Hotels and Trelivings by evodia have teamed up to create a uniquely Australian accommodation and body care package – More Indulgence @ Medina.  The package includes a two-night stay in a stylish one bedroom apartment at any of Medina’s 23 locations, late check-out and a special Kangaroo Island Eucalyptus gift pack from Trelivings by evodia.
