We hold various fundraising events throughout the year and would welcome your support at these.
Afternoon Tea with Jenny & Jess - 21 June 2025
On 21 June, more than 100 guests enjoyed afternoon tea and some delightful banter between ABC’s newsreader Jessica van Vonderen and ‘weather girl’ Jenny Woodward at the Bulimba Community Centre. Both of Darling Downs beginnings, they are now household names statewide. Jenny is fully across the weather – she was even able to give the daily report for Tanzania.
There was more: champagne starter, raffles, silent auction, tasty food and gentle background music (harp, played by Kathryn Forster). Wendy Bastow and Leanne Booker organised the event with enthusiastic support in the kitchen and by young people serving at tables. Leanne spoke passionately about what is being achieved in Tanzania through Hearts’ funds. The end result of over $10500 to support the Prince of Peace School included $2776 in donations.
Thank you to those who were able to attend or make a donation and special thanks to our resident artist Caroline Penny who once again donated one of her stunning artworks for the silent auction,
Charity Dinner - 3 March 2025
First fundraising event for 2025, a charity dinner held at the Bamiyan Restaurant at Camp Hill. Mouthwatering food, wonderful conversation and a great and noisy atmosphere. Thanks to all those able to attend or make a donation, we raised over $1200 to be applied to the ongoing repair of the school buses.
Sausage Sizzle - 26 October 2024
On the day of the Queensland State Election Hearts held a sausage sizzle and cake stall at St Stephens Anglican Church in Coorparoo raising over $1000 for our schools in Tanzania.
Musical Soiree - 29 September 2024
A wonderful array of enthusiastic talent was displayed at St John The Baptist Anglican Church at Bulimba for our annual Musical Soiree fundraising event. The packed venue and performers raised more than $6500 for Hearts for Africa and enjoyed champagne and a high tea, as well as excellent music.
The pianists were from a group who are working on their performance skills and meet monthly to workshop. They have raised much needed funds for the Amani school students and parents.
Additionally, we had a stirring bagpiper who also invited our audience to sing The Mull of Kintyre with pipes and piano accompaniments.
A wonderful afternoon of fantastic music, delicious food and great conversation.
