Thank you

To everyone who took the #100in100 Challenge, who reached out to 100 new people in 100 days and gave $100 to a great cause along the way, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

G’day challengers

The #100in100 Challenge started in 2017 as a conversation between a few small business owners from the land down under, about motivation, accountability and community, and it quickly snowballed into something far bigger than any of us had planned.

In 2018 hundreds of challengers from around the country joined in and made it our biggest year. From 1 June to 9 September you reached out to new people, day after day, and gave a dollar for every connection you made. Some days it took a bit of courage to send the message, and you sent it anyway.

The challenge has now finished, and we want to say thank you, to you, to our ambassadors and to the businesses who backed us. Life is not a zero-sum game. In making meaningful connections and creating abundance for others, we create more for ourselves and for the world around us.

With gratitude, Tim and Andrew

What you made possible for Free To Shine

Every dollar you gave went through B1G1, who pass on 100% of donations, to Free To Shine, a charity that works to prevent children from entering sex trafficking in South East Asia.

Free To Shine’s social workers and education officers work with girls and their families in rural villages, alongside police, community leaders, councils and schools, so that girls stay safe, stay in school and have enough food, clean water and a safe place to live. By 2018 Nicky Mih and her team had kept more than 700 girls across 50 rural villages safe. As Nicky put it, children should be in schools, not brothels.

Thank you for being part of it.

Thank you to our ambassadors

Our ambassadors support Free To Shine and B1G1 all year round, and they joined forces with us to spread the word and to give their own time and programmes to our prize pool. Thank you for lending us your voices and your networks.
