Lifeline Classic is a fun community surf event that raises money for Lifeline Northern Beaches. For the past two years Form1 has proudly supported Man Anchor to raise funds and awareness.
This year, on Sunday, September 18, at Queenscliff Beach in Sydney our team took out 1st Place in the Open Division – this is the third year Man Anchor have won the competition.
“The Lifeline Classic is a fantastic day out where our community comes together to support those in need,” says Man Anchor Founder, Steve Gamble.
Lifeline is a fantastic national charity that provides 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services to all Australians experiencing emotional distress.
“We are so proud to be part of this event every year. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to support Lifeline Northern Beaches,” says Form1 Group CEO, Steve Shirlaw.
This year Form1 raised over $7000 and with over 900 donations, Lifeline Classic raised over $138,000 for Lifeline Northern Beaches.
