Why This Exists ...
In 2019 we lost our great mate Matt “Mac” Macdonald to leukaemia. To honour Mac, we host the annual Macattack Weekend — a celebration of his life and a fundraiser for Rainbows and Smiles
As part of the weekend in 2025, the crowd nominated Chris Darby, Nick Davies, and Nick Brits to grow mullets in Mac’s honour. Questionable hair. Excellent cause.
What happened ...
On 5 September 2025, both nominees were called to the front and the crowd pledged donations.
The agreement is simple:
- If they keep their mullets for one full year or until the next MacAttack weekend, whichever comes first:
All pledged donations must be paid to the Macattack Foundation directly by 30 September 2027.
- If a donor does not pay by that date,
The donor agrees to grow a mullet for one year, provided the nominees have not cut theirs.
- If either nominees cuts their mullet early,
They personally pay 50% of the original pledged total to Rainbows and Smiles.
- Mullets must remain intact.
No trims. No “just a tidy up.”
