Mission Action Day

 

One of the most tangible examples of Social Justice at De La Salle is our Mission Action Day, often referred to as MAD Day by students.

This year, MAD day is held on Thursday 6 April 2023.

HELP BE A PART OF RAISING $100,000

Mission Action Day is an annual walkathon which raises funds for marginalised children and families in locations such as Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea as well as local charities in New South Wales and Victoria. In the past, our funds have helped build classrooms, purchase desks, chairs and other furniture and rebuild buildings.

The My Cause platform enables students to seek sponsorship in a safe and efficient way. Donate now to help us reach our $100,000 goal.

In 2022 we raised $80,910 that helped fund a variety of projects throughout the Lasallian community — worldwide!
