Ausmusic T-Shirt Day 2019 Raised An ‘Unbelievable’ Amount Of Money

A huge effort!

If there’s one thing Aussies love more than live music, it’s getting behind a good cause, as evident via the results from this year’s Ausmusic T-Shirt Day.

Charity organisation Support Act has announced that the November 15 event raised an “unbelievable” $260,664, which will provide crisis relief and mental health counselling services to those in the music industry who are doing it tough.

“A huge thank you to everyone who set up a team fundraising page, made a donation, rallied their networks, posted their photos to social media, purchased and/or donated proceeds from the sale of t-shirts,” Support Act said.
