Susita Das (Club President) and Jane Hillyard (Events Director) of Rotaract Club of Brisbane Rivercity have sent us the following invitation. Please show our sponsored Rotaract Club support by purchasing a ticket and going long.Dear Angela, Bruce, Dan & Members of the Rotary Club of Brisbane,
We hope this message finds you in high spirits enjoying your weekend!
On behalf of the Rotaract Club of Brisbane Rivercity, we are delighted to extend a warm invitation to an unforgettable evening of elegance and purpose at our Cocktail Fundraising Gala, “An Evening of Brushing Kindness”, in proud support of Habitat for Humanity Australia.
This year, we’re proud to continue our partnership with Habitat for Humanity Australia hosting Rivercity’s Annual Cocktail Party in support of the “Brush with Kindness” program operating here in the Brisbane region.
This program mobilises volunteers to renovate and repair homes for vulnerable families, including Indigenous housing projects and crisis accommodation for those escaping domestic violence or experiencing homelessness.
There has never been a more critical time to make positive progress on homelessness here in our own backyard. Since 2017, Queensland has seen a 22% increase in homelessness, far surpassing the national average. We are facing a growing reality: homelessness no longer affects only the most vulnerable, but increasingly impacts everyday Australians who are unable to keep up with rising rents and housing shortages.
✨ So please, join with us, dress to impress in your finest cocktail attire and enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring:
- A 3-hour drinks package
- Delectable canapés
- Raffle prizes
- Inspiring stories and meaningful connections
...all in the spirit of building hope and creating change.
