Sunscreen Challenge
Shop Bakslap
On December 14, 2019 we held the inaugural Australia’s Biggest Bakslap on Mooloolaba Beach, QLD. Hundreds gathered and took part in the Sunscreen Challenge.
We plan to hold this event at the beginning of summer every year to help raise awareness about sun protection. Large gatherings in person are not on in 2020, so we created an interactive app to allow us to host the challenge again – in digital format.
