Join us for a purpose-led fundraising lunch supporting Friends with Dignity, an organisation dedicated to helping adults and children impacted by domestic and family violence rebuild their lives with purpose, dignity and hope.

This event is raising funds for a clear and critical goal: an $80,000 delivery truck which is urgently needed to meet the growing demand for domestic violence support services.

We’re excited to welcome award-winning Brisbane-based drag entertainer Vollie LaVont as our MC, who will bring energy, humour and a touch of glamour to the afternoon — including a fun round of drag bingo.

Why this matters

When people escape domestic and family violence, they often leave with nothing.
Through Friends with Dignity’s Sanctuary Program, volunteers and communities come together to furnish safe houses with donated goods, transforming empty spaces into welcoming homes where families can start again.

The need is there.
The furniture is there.
The volunteers are ready.

The missing link is transport.

Right now, Friends with Dignity operates with a single van, placing enormous pressure on the team and limiting how quickly and how far support can reach. A dedicated truck will allow more homes to be furnished, more efficiently, and with greater reach, creating hundreds of fresh starts for families who need them most.

This truck doesn’t just move furniture. It delivers dignity.

What to expect

A beautifully curated lunch in the heart of Brisbane
Powerful stories of impact and resilience
A clear and transparent fundraising initiative, showing exactly how your support makes a difference, not just on the day, but for years to come
Connection with like-minded individuals and businesses who believe in practical, lasting change

This is more than a fundraiser. It’s an opportunity to be part of a solution. One that delivers real, tangible impact.

We invite you to join us.
