COMMUNITY AMBASSADORS
Ambassador Update As 2023 wraps up, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our wonderful 64 Community Ambassadors. This group of dedicated supporters have spent the year volunteering, advocating and raising funds for Catherine House. Since they began fundraising in February, this group has (made up of 56 individuals, three groups and five families) have organised countless events big and small, all because of their strong held commitment to supporting women experiencing homelessness. We are amazed to announce that our 2023 Community Ambassadors have raised over $200,000 this year. We are beyond grateful for their incredible hard work. Here are just a few of their achievements:
Rebecca & Christine’s quiz night In August, sister Community Ambassadors, Rebecca and Christine, put together an outstanding quiz night supporting Catherine House. This event, held at The Highway Hotel, truly went above and beyond, featuring a raffle, a wine wall, an auction and more! We are incredibly grateful for all fundraising events, big or small, supporting South Australian women experiencing homelessness. Every dollar donated, every new conversation started, and toiletry pack donated is a step towards ending women's homelessness. It's safe to say we were blown away by Rebecca and Christine's efforts, which brought in over $50,000 from their incredible efforts.
Home: SAM & Maddie’s fundraising dinner at the salopian inn This winter, mother and daughter Community Ambassadors, Sam and Maddie Marchetti, joined forces with the beautiful Salopian Inn, to host an intimate fundraising dinner and art auction. The evening, which hosted over 100 guests, included produce and wine donated by local businesses, as well as gorgeous artworks donated by local artists, a silent auction, a raffle, a wine wall and a lucky door prize. Adelaide hospitality legends, Sharon Romeo and Mark Reginato, donated their time to host the entertaining evening, which raised over $15,500 to support the Catherine House Crisis Accommodation Service.
Cathy’s high tea Community Ambassador, Cathy, hosted a fabulous ‘High Tea on the Seas’ at Largs Bay Sailing Club on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in September. Guests were dressed in a sea of purple, showing their support for Catherine House! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon of live music, decadent treats, table prizes and raffles. Cathy embraced her community, asking friends and family to donate their time to create the delicious food offerings, maximising her fundraising capacities. Thank you Cathy for organising this beautiful event.
