A Night for Aphasia

It is with deep regret that we must inform you of the cancellation of ANFA 2024, scheduled to take place at the end of Aphasia Awareness month on the 28th of June.

Despite our utmost efforts and enthusiasm, after careful consideration and assessment of the current financial climate, we have determined that the number of tickets sold falls significantly short of what is necessary to ensure the success and viability of the event. 🗣️

This decision was not made lightly, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause you.🫶🏽

We remain steadfast in our commitment to raising Aphasia Awareness and despite the cancellation of this event, we will continue our campaign to spread awareness and drive positive change. While this setback may be disheartening, it only strengthens our resolve to amplify our efforts and engage with our community in new and innovative ways. We are grateful for your ongoing support and look forward to continuing this important journey together.💙🤍🩵🖤

Imagine having a stroke.

👀 OUR EVENT DATE HAS CHANGED TO THE 28TH OF JUNE AND HERES WHY: 👀

🥂 Cheers to the Long Weekend: It’s the last long weekend in a while, and for those Melbourne guests, getting away on the Friday makes all the difference!
👨‍🎓 University Exams: We want our future allied health students to graduate, and thus will remove this fun distraction to after the exam period!
🖼️ Ticket Sales and Artistic Contributions: The new date provides us with more time to sell tickets and offers artists participating in the event longer to create and refine their pieces!

All of this is to ensure that “ANFA” exceeds your expectations.

SO….. no excuses now! Grab your ticket and see you at the end of Aphasia awareness month to bring it home strong! 🎫 🤩
