Support my challenge to care for young Western Australians

Every school day across Western Australia, 250,000 students walk into a school where someone knows their name. In 2025, YouthCARE chaplains and volunteers showed up in 600 school communities and 38 sporting clubs across the state, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.

They sat with students navigating hard things, served nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivered 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and supported more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines.

260,000 people. One consistent presence. Ridiculously good care.

Your support helps provide ridiculously good care to young Western Australians.

Help me support YouthCARE today

This May, I'm rallying athletes, friends, and anyone who's ever picked up a basketball to help me make 830 shots together. One for every student at the two schools I serve as chaplain.

Every person who joins me, every shot that swishes, every airball we laugh about together represents a real kid who deserves someone in their corner.

830 is more than a number. It's 830 students who get to walk into school knowing there's a chaplain who sees them, knows their name, and shows up for them every single week.

I can't make 830 shots alone. But that's kind of the point. Neither can one chaplain change a school community alone. It takes a team.

So come shoot with me. Bring your friends. Bring your kids. Bring your competitive streak or your terrible form. All are welcome.

Follow along, join a session, and consider donating to help YouthCARE chaplains keep showing up for students across WA. My goal is $830, and for every dollar above that I will add another shot to the tally. Lets see how many we can get.

830 makes. $830. One month. Let's build the team.

Let me introduce Lea, one of the kindness, most caring and amazing humans you could ever meet. Lea has volunteered as a chaplain within the club for years providing support, a listening ear, encouragement and a smile. So grateful for you Lea and all of the volunteer sports chaplains in WA making a difference! (Lea and her family also offered to make some baskets for me - Legend, thanks Lea!!!)
