Flanno for a Farmer Day is a nationwide cultural and charitable event designed to support Australian farmers facing hardships such as drought, floods, and financial or mental health pressures. Organized to benefit Farm Angels, the initiative encourages schools, workplaces, and individuals to wear flannel shirts—a staple of farming apparel—to raise awareness and funds for rural relief efforts. The money raised provides practical assistance, including emergency financial aid and food hampers.

In the Sunshine Coast region, the 2026 campaign is supported by White’s IGA stores located at Peregian Beach, Mt Coolum, Bli Bli, and Forest Glen. From August 5 to 25, these stores sell $2 fundraising tokens to shoppers. A key highlight of the event occurs on the official day, Friday, August 14, when the Commonwealth Bank matches donations made on that day up to a total of $50,000.
