COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING
North Adelaide Football Club LADIES DAY Catherine House Client Services Manager, Deirdre Flynn, was thrilled to be invited to speak as part of the Ladies Day Fundraiser held by North Adelaide Football Club in August. Deirdre spoke to the club members about the challenges facing Catherine House and shed light on the crisis we are currently facing with homelessness, mental health and domestic violence. It was an honour to participate in a great day of celebrating women and their accomplishments on and off the field. In line with National Homelessness Week, the North Adelaide Football Club raised valuable funds for our Crisis Accommodation Service and also conducted a donation drive, collecting items from our high-needs list to support the women living with us. We are so grateful for the support of the Club, all the members who attended and the donors who helped make this incredible event possible.
women in Business Appreciation lunch We are so grateful to have been a part of the 'Women in Business Appreciation Lunch' held by Alexander Financial Group. The afternoon included several great speakers - including one who shared her experiences striving for success in her heavily male-dominated field, and another bravely told her account of experiencing domestic and family violence throughout her career. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this empowering event, which managed to raise over $5,000 to support our Crisis Accommodation Service. Thank you, Alexander Financial Group!
Adelaide Strikers Women in sport lunch In late November, we were fortunate to be chosen as the official Charity Partner of the Adelaide Strikers Women in Sport Lunch at Adelaide Oval. It was a wonderful event with a fantastic panel and an inspiring keynote from Holly Ransom. Thank you to everyone who donated financially or bought items from our Christmas Wishlist. A huge thank you to Allison and the South Australian Cricket Association team for organising the event.
