MACARTHUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTS MOVEMBER
Local real estate agent aims to raise $10,000 for men’s mental health via billboards urging people to “check in with their mates”
South Western Sydney real estate agent Chris York is well on his way to raising $10,000 for Movember this month with Macarthur locals lining up to be involved in his unique community-based concept to support the annual month-long men’s mental health campaign.
York’s concept sees Macarthur residents offered the chance to place a billboard emblazoned with the message “This is a sign to check in with your mates” on their property. Then each time a billboard goes up York donates $100 to the Movember charity.
In a welcome surprise the concept took off faster than expected with over 70 Macarthur locals so far volunteering to prominently display York's custom-made billboards on their properties, putting the 35-year-old real estate agent well on his way to achieving his $10,000-for-100 signs goal and racing to keep up with demand for signs.
“It’s been so gratifying to see so much enthusiasm around this idea,” says York, who launched his campaign Nov1 with a full-sized billboard outside his Stone Real Estate Macarthur office on Camden Valley Way.
“Growing up with such a large circle of friends from sport, I saw several close friends go through some tough times as well as a lot of other men I’ve met later in life.
Those interested in erecting a billboard can visit York’s Movember page or call the Stone Real Estate Macarthur office on 02 4655 3000
