RISE2 Foundation

Fundraising for Families Lunch
2024-05-01 12:00 - 14:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Bella Venezia Restaurant Mooloolaba, 95 Mooloolaba Esplanade, Mooloolaba, QLD, 4557, Australia
The RISE2 Foundation builds safe, secure homes for women and children survivors of domestic & family violence and provides vital support to help rebuild their lives.
RISE2 is an innovative project delivering purpose-built homes across our region for families to begin again. We also create a caring safety net of local community services around them as they recover and regain their confidence to rejoin our community.
100% of every dollar raised helps complete fully furnished homes as short-term accommodation for the most at-risk families. Can you help us to change the life of a child, not just today but for the rest of their lives?
Your $125pp ticket includes a delicious 2-course lunch specially created for us by the award-winning Chef and team at Bella Venezia Mooloolaba and a welcome glass of wine or beer.
This exclusive and special event on 1 May to launch DFV Prevention Month is made possible thanks to our generous sponsor Bella Venezia Restaurant.
It’s also a great opportunity to meet and hear from our guest speaker, Priscilla Thorpe, the DFV Service System Coordinator for IFYS who works tirelessly across the sector to make lasting, positive change in our community.
