Who enjoyed grooving and dancing to Marcia Hines today?
Such an incredible way to celebrate International Womenโs Day ๐๐๐
๐ What an incredible International Womenโs Day Luncheon.
Today at Newcastle Racecourse we celebrated the spirit of Give to Gain, bringing together an inspiring community for an afternoon of connection, generosity and powerful storytelling.
Guests were captivated by keynote speaker Marcia Hines, who not only shared her remarkable story but also had the entire room on their feet with an unforgettable performance. Alongside her, Natalia Hogan delivered an inspiring and thought-provoking address that truly resonated with the audience.
Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, supported the raffle and contributed to the auction, we are proud to share that $20,000 was raised for Samaritans, helping support young people in our region experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, and generous prize donors who helped make the luncheon possible, and to everyone who joined us in celebrating International Womenโs Day in such a meaningful way.
Together, we truly showed the power of Give to Gain. โจ
