Dementia Demolition Squad's Trivia Night Fundraiser
Dementia took my mum away from everyone and everything she cared about. I'll never forget the day she looked into my eyes and didn't know who I was. More than that, it stopped her living while she was living. She could no longer do anything she loved - cooking, gardening, crocheting, chatting on the phone, watching favourite shows on TV. All this was taken from her by this disease. I couldn't lose mum piece by piece and not do anything. Hubby and I committed to fundraising for a cure. We are authorised fundraisers for NeuRA and sponsor a PhD student each year who is researching Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. My dad had Parkinson's and we set up an Award honouring both mum and dad. We believe, and hope that one day young scientists will find the cure, and our sponsorship is how we can help them do just that.
Colour Smash Fun Run Fundraiser
We are raising funds for Ross Park Primary School's engine room. The purpose of the engine room is to provide a sensory space for students and an opportunity to use a variety of equipment to help with sensory and physical regulation and calming. Please make sure you let the student you are donating on behalf of know you have contributed to their fundraising, as classes and students are keeping track for additional prizes to be won.
RULE Prostate Cancer
Our pub is proud to support RULE Prostate Cancer's Protect a Legend Appeal. As a local pub, we’re more than just a place to grab a drink. We’re a community. And like many communities across Australia, we’ve seen the impact that prostate cancer can have on our mates, our families, and our regulars. 1 in 5 Aussie men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. It’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men — but it’s also one of the most treatable when caught early. That’s why we’re getting behind this cause: to help fund patient care and research that could save lives. Whether you’re dropping in for a beer, taking part in our fundraiser, or making a donation, you’re helping us make a real difference.

Theme and Variations Foundation 2025
Each year, the Theme & Variations Foundation raises money for the development of the most promising young Australian pianists who are also in need of some financial help. They are assessed by a panel of distinguished musicians, after which Board members decide on award allocations. The foundation has set up a trust which has DGR-1 status so that any donations over $2 are tax deductible. It takes those donations and uses them, through a carefully structured search and assessment process, to assist young Australian pianists.
