WHAT IS DOLLYS FUND?
Dolly’s Fund is a grassroots charity inspired by Dolly’s resilience, spirit, and the belief that every greyhound deserves a soft place to land after the racetrack. Our mission is to support greyhound rescue and rehabilitation efforts by funding the vital work of established rescue organisations across Australia.

DIY Hound Art
🖌️ Art Class with Katrina Wheaton (bookings essential) Katrina Wheaton is a Mildura-based artist and art teacher. She shares her life with her two greyhounds, Amy and Lara, and if you look closely at her artwork - you will see a close resemblance to her two muses. Create your own artwork with her, inspired by greyhounds in bright mixed media collage pieces that reimagine hounds in playful, expressive ways. You’ll explore fun techniques to layer, blend, and sculpt your own beautiful A4 piece. No experience needed. All ages welcome. Materials provided. Art Class can be added on when purchasing your event ticket.
Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity
