Tickets remain on sale for the 2025 Toowoomba Mayoral Prayer Breakfast on Tuesday, 13 May in aid of peer support programs run by the Red Frogs Toowoomba team.
Leading Australian economist and public policy specialist, Professor Ian Harper AO, is the guest speaker for the function from 6am at Rumours International, 323 Ruthven Street, Toowoomba.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Cr Geoff McDonald said the function would donate funds to help the Red Frogs continue their harm minimisation and early intervention services in the Toowoomba area.
“The Red Frogs volunteers are well regarded for showing compassion and understanding in their mission to support young people’s wellbeing while having a positive influence on their lives through various education campaigns,” Mayor McDonald said.
“Apart from handing out their familiar lollies, the Red Frogs offer positive peer role model information, pre-Schoolies seminars plus leadership and life training education to high school students, school leavers, university students and at skateboard clinics and competitions, youth music festivals and sporting events.”
Red Frogs Australia was founded in 1997 by Andy Gourley, a youth pastor at Brisbane’s Citipointe Church, who saw the need for support services at the Gold Coast schoolies event in 1997.
Mr Gourley was the guest speaker at the 2016 Toowoomba Mayoral Prayer Breakfast.
