Win one of 4 double passes to see Jack Johnson in Sydney!
ReachOut.com and ActNow are teaming up with Jack Johnson on his 2010 To The Sea Tour and All At Once, a social action network connecting nonprofits with people who want to become active in their local and world community.
Thanks to the Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation, we’re giving you the chance to win one of 4 double passes to the Sydney Jack Johnson concert on Saturday December 11th. We’re super sorry to those of you not in Sydney, rest assured we’ll try and do lots of cool things in other states and cities too in the new year!
We know that getting informed, feeling empowered and taking action improves your mental health. It strengthens community connectedness and creates a space for young people to inspire others and participate in important decision making processes.
ActNow will have a stall at The Village Green on the day of the concert, where we’ll be asking anyone who stops by to talk to us about how taking action can contribute to your sense of wellbeing.
So for a chance to win one of 4 double passes to see Jack Johnson, you just need to leave your comment below, telling us why you think taking action on things that you’re passionate about (whether it’s mental health, the environment, your local community, or anything else!) does great things for your sense of happiness and wellbeing! We’ll pick the best 4 comments, and those lucky 4 will be off to see Jack at the Domain on the 11th!
On top of the tickets, Jack is helping us with a bit of fundraising! He’ll match the first $2,500 we raise – how awesome it that? We’ve set a slightly higher goal: we’re trying for $5,000! Head to our Everyday Hero page here: http://www.everydayhero.com.au/reachouttojackjohnson and get fundraising for ReachOut.com, so we can continue to deliver great info and support to you all.
So, get your fundraising hat on, and let’s get Jack to give us $2,500! And if you’re in Sydney (or can get to Sydney!) get commenting below and we’ll let you know by Wednesday 8th December if you’re one of our lucky winners!

Reply ReportI think it's often pretty difficult, especially when something you're so passionate about seems like a trivial matter to others. But then if there wasn't a struggle, if it didn't require as much effort, the rewards wouldn't be the same either. Seeing the tangible effect that you have on peoples lives is one of the most satisfying experiences. The only thing that tops it, is being able to share that happiness and fulfilment with the group of people you worked with to bring about change.

Reply ReportDear Team Reach Out!
Acting on important issues both empowers you as an individual (finding the strength, right course of action, and then following through) also connects you to others. By stimulating action one will always find others who share in understanding and values. By connecting to others and lifting your personal sense of empowerment one cannot help but have a better sense of happiness and purpose.
Action= Purpose= Fulfillment= Happiness.
