Help us end violence.
On 4 May 2008, 17-year-old Sam Davis had a schnitty at his clubrooms then went to a party with mates. A one-punch assault meant he never made it home.
Join us for a #schnitty4sam on or around 4 May.
Your donation will support Sam's legacy to end violence through education and mentoring. Be sure to spread the word on socials with your schnitty pics!

Saturday 4 May 2024 (a DAY.. or a WEEK, or the MONTH of May)
We hope you're hungry - we're setting the bar high and need your help! Help us educate 7,000 young people.
In 2023 our #schnitty4sam community ate 35,000 schnitzels which raised $30,904. This allowed us to educate 3,090 young people.
This year we have a $10,000 donation goal from generous individuals like YOU, and a collective goal of $70,000 that will include the support of participating venues and our friends Drakes Supermarkets in South Australia and Queensland.
So, why is our work so vital?
Not only can experiences of violence have a serious negative impact on a young person’s education, academic achievement and employment prospects, it can also have lasting impacts on their wellbeing long into adult years.
Our Education Programs inform young people about the consequences of violence and drug and alcohol misuse, providing knowledge and strategies to keep themselves and their mates safe, with the goal to achieve a whole school culture where violence is not accepted. Our aim is to ultimately create a kinder, safer society for us all.
Every 7 minutes somewhere in the world an adolescent is killed by an act of violence.
