YOU’RE INVITED
to participate in the inaugural
Big Blue BBQ
Proudly supporting the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA), the inaugural Big Blue BBQ is a unique two-day event being held at the prestigious Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains, on Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st of March 2025.
We invite you to join us in raising awareness of prostate cancer — including new directions in testing, diagnosis, and treatment — while also helping raise funds to support the vital work of the PCFA.
Yours,
Greg Farmilo
Currently, around 250,000 Australian men are living with prostate cancer, making it our most commonly diagnosed form of cancer. Tragically, on average, this disease claims the lives of 11 Aussie men every day.
Despite its prevalence, we still don’t know what causes prostate cancer, nor have we found a way to prevent it.
Prostate cancer is not generally diagnosed until it is too late, principally due to masculine stereotypes around treatment and rectoral examination. And while it is a men’s health issue, family members and friends will also feel the impact of this disease.
RAISING AWARENESS, FUNDS AND SPIRITS
Big Blue BBQ has been designed to raise awareness of prostate cancer, highlight the ease of testing, and discuss new directions in treatment that are sharply focused on nutrition, lifestyle, and prevention. The event also aims to raise much needed funds for ongoing prostate cancer research.
Just as importantly, Big Blue BBQ is about positivity, camaraderie, and raising sprits.
