COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, 8th March 2023
Catherine House received an overwhelming level of support on International Women's Day earlier this year. A wide range of events were organised to raise funds and awareness to support this day of celebration and empowerment. Women came together to talk openly about their experiences of gender bias, inequality, domestic violence, homelessness, sexual abuse, ageism and sexism. The bravery and vulnerability of the women sharing their stories was astounding. Their motivation for doing so is often wanting other women not to feel alone, this sentiment inspired many in the room.
A huge congratulations to the three Healthy Inspirations Centres, Prospect, Frewville and Blackwood for raising funds and awareness for Catherine House throughout their March walking challenge. Raising over $6,300.00, providing us with 37 nights of safe and secure accommodation for a woman. We truly can’t thank you enough for your support. Healthy Inspirations Centres
To every individual, organisation, business, school or community group who raised funds and awareness for our work - we are incredibly grateful. We cannot survive without our community, you are our village.
A special thank you to Angela Papas from HNLY Restaurant Bar and Trinh Nguyen from Blossom Box Co for planning an exclusive event at HNLY for International Women's Day with special guest Chef George Calombaris, raising an astonishing $60,000 to support our Crisis Accommodation Service. Devastatingly, shortly after this event, Angela passed away after a long battle with cancer.
We are honoured to have worked with such an inspirational woman in her final few weeks, our respects and condolences to Trinh and all her loved ones. Angela will always hold a special place in our hearts, especially on International Women's Day.
