SMACKTALK, UNPLUG24 & PLAY IN RED WEEK

๐Ÿ’ฌ Join Frankston Basketball in Supporting SmackTalk and Unplug24.

Frankston Basketball is proud to support SmackTalk this October. A movement dedicated to promoting online safety, mental wellbeing, and open conversations that can make a real difference.

After the heartbreaking loss of his 17-year-old son Mac, Frankston Basketball CEO Wayne Holdsworth was determined to create something positive from tragedy. He founded SmackTalk, a charity focused on education, awareness, and supporting young people to stay safe and connected, both online and in life.

๐Ÿ’ป What is Unplug24?

On October 24, SmackTalk is inviting everyone to Unplug for 24 hours. Take a break from social media, reconnect with friends and family, and help raise awareness of the importance of digital wellbeing and mental health.
