S3 Bucket Hats for Bev

I'm raising funds for people with dementia!

Back in 2018, I worked for Amazon Web Services and I had the idea to sew myself an AWS dress to wear to tech events around the world. It was so popular, my colleagues even made t-shirts and stickers! In 2023 I raised the bar with the AWS dress v2, which even had matching sneakers.

As of 2024 though, I'm retired and it seems a bit silly to hang on to these dresses. Why not turn them into something fun and raise money for an important cause? So the dresses have become 14 Smart, Sensational, Sun-Protecting (S3) Bucket Hats, and you can win one by donating to this fundraiser.

Dementia is a terrible disease that has affected our family in recent years. It really, really sucks to watch someone you know and love just change and disappear. I'd like to help other families going through this, and hopefully even work towards a cure.

To do that I need your help! Please make a donation to support my efforts and help me reach my goal to beat dementia.

All funds raised will support the work of Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with dementia, their families and carers. These services include counselling, support groups, education and training.

For every $25 AUD* you donate, you'll get one entry into a raffle for one of the 14 hats. I will draw the winners at random on November 1st, 2024, and I will cover postage anywhere in the world. Please make sure you are contactable if you win! Make sure you use a name that I will recognise or be able to find on Facebook. You can only win one hat, and you don't get to choose which one you get. (They're all the same size anyway.)

* If you are unable to donate to Dementia Australia, feel free to donate to a dementia-related charity in your own country. If you email me a screenshot of your donation, I will ensure you are entered into the draw. You'll get 1 entry for the equivalent of $25 AUD in your own currency.

Thank you for your support.
