Each week, we share a bunch of exciting and interesting stuff in the hopes that you can find something fun to do, or a new deal to get in on. This week we've got a bit of both of that, with Gelato Messina dropping a new Cookie Pie next week, Fujifilm's next major photography grant starting, and Pat Cash promising some Cash for Charity. Here's this week's Feel-Good Friday.

According to Davines, this'll be done via two promotions: firstly, Davines customers that purchase an 'Essential Refill Pouch and Conditioner' pack (at key salons) will also receive a complimentary bottle of shampoo – a gift designed to encourage more eco-conscious purchasing behaviour. Secondly, five per cent of proceeds made from sales of these refill pouches will be donated to Sea Shepherd Australia to support the cleanup of marine debris along the Australian coastline. The campaign builds on Davines' previous eco-efforts, having partnered with Plastic Bank to move over 866 tonnes of plastic from the environment in 2024. Tennis Great Pat Cash Pat Cash's New Tennis Tourney to bring 'Cash to Charity' A brand new Tennis competition is coming to Australia, and it's looking to raise cash for charity. 'The Invitational' is set to launch in the lead up to the 2026 Australian Open, aiming to deliver a 'festival of tennis' that brings the sport together with music, food, lifestyle and popular culture, while also featuring a fundraising side-goal of raising money for charities. Which charities? We don't know yet – but all will be revealed in the lead up to the event, which is being headed up by Abler Sports & Entertainment (ASE), and former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash. 'The Invitational (will be) about more than tennis. I am proud to bring this to life with ASE, and do it in a way that celebrates the sport while supporting causes that matter,' Cash said. ASE CEO and founder Ravi Krishnan said The Invitational will be extraordinary, empathetic, elegant and exclusive, and will be a 'unique addition to the Summer of Tennis'. Fujifilm Launches $150,000 Grant for Content Creators The cameraphiles at Fujifilm are looking give away a total of $150,000 through its annual GFX Challenge Grant Program, which aims to highlight budding photographers and give them the tools and support they need to create stunning photo and video projects. Entries can be submitted to the challenge until 31 August through the Fujifilm GFX Challenge website, and applications will be reviewed throughout September and October. By December, the challenge's winners will be announced, and the ability to work on their projects will begin. 'At Fujifilm, we believe in the power of photography to spark creativity and tell compelling stories,' Fujifilm Australia's head of marketing Leanne Hughes said. 'Through a mixture of funding, mentorship and world-class tech, the (GFX Challenge) gives content creators the tools and support to push the boundaries of their craft even further (and) we can't wait to see the bold, innovative projects that come through this year.' Gelato Messina x Tony's Chocolonely | Image: Supplied Messina and Tony's Chocolonely launching limited edition Cookie Pies Two of our favourite sweet makers have come together to make something truly innovative: the Cookie Pie, by Gelato Messina and Tony's Chocolonely. Gelato Messina has packed its famous pies with Tony's Chocolate—one of our favourite chocolates, since eating it not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also helps end the massive, system issues in the cocoa trade—and it'll be launching the concoction onto the world on July 7. That's right, next week you'll be able to head to your nearest Messina store (apart from Circular Quay and The Star in Sydney), and get your hands on a warm, melty cookie pie filled with Tony's. It'll still cost a pretty penny, of course, at $25 each: but at least part of that cost is now going to end exploitation in the cocoa industry. Plus, Messina is pulling out all the stops and crafted a new 'brownie' gelato flavour to pair with the Cookie Pie, so you can go all-in on chocolate for lunch. Just maybe take the afternoon off.
