Turning the town purple to fight for respectful relationships

‘up their game’ and through the ClubGrants program, the bowling club donated $25,000 for more purple shirts, to the Rotary Club in Ballina. They then invited as many businesses as possible to get their staff wearing the purple shirts.

“We just thought if we paint our town purple every Friday, we can get a conversation started about domestic violence,” he said.

“When we offered the shirts, we thought a few businesses might take it up, but instead it went beserk with Ballina Shire Council being the first and putting an order in for 140.

“We are thankful to the many businesses who have come on board to unite as one against domestic violence.”
