The Uluru Statement
Join us at Terrey Hills Golf & Country Club for our annual golf day on Friday 27th October while helping raise money for Mentoring Men and Mary’s House Australia.
Mary’s House offers respite and critical care for families that are affected by domestic and family violence providing case and social work, safety, and a sense of belonging when women and often their children are at their most vulnerable.
Mentoring Men provides free long-term one-to-one life mentoring for men who are going through some challenges or changes in their life. They focus on a proactive approach, engaging with men who need help before they spiral into crisis.
All funds raised will be divided equally between the 2 charities.

The evening began with a delicious array of canapés, the crowd favourite being the Smoked Pork Hock Croquettes with a sourdough crumb and apple cider crème fraîche. Most flocked to the stunning grazing station stocked with fresh cheeses, meats, fruit and crackers and seafood enthusiasts visited the oyster station for freshly shucked East 33 Sydney Rock oysters. Drinks were flowing right from the beginning and the night was off to a great start with an air of positivity encompassing the venue.
As guests settled into their seats for the evening, they were treated to a three-course dinner with entrees like Smoked Eggplant and Chickpea Stuffed Zucchini Flowers and Blue Swimmer Crab Fritters with
preserved lemon, duck egg, samphire, salsa verde and Yarra Valley caviar to share, followed by a choice of mains and desserts including Riverina Chargrilled Grain Fed Beef Fillet and Blood Orange Soufflé with pistachio and white chocolate. Ale from Willie The Boatman and delicious wines from Curator Wine Co in Barossa Valley accompanied the meal. The produce for the event was kindly donated by Foodlink Australia, Sydney Direct Fresh Produce, Willie The Boatman and Iain Sandler Wines meaning the majority of the ticket price went straight to Mary’s House Services.
The event was made even more special with the wonderful Lizzie Pearl from Channel Nine serving as the host for the evening. Her warm and welcoming presence and spectacular affort in extracting bids for the auction added an extra layer of sophistication and entertainment to the fundraiser, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
While the delicious food and drinks were certainly a highlight of the evening, the true essence of the event lay in its mission to support Mary’s House Services. Mary’s House is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing shelter and support for survivors of domestic violence. The funds raised at this event will go a long way in helping Mary’s House continue its vital work in the community. A huge thanks to our generous sponsor Erilyan Construction and the businesses that donated auction items for the evening: Bang Bang Muay Thai, The Albert Mosman, Winmark Wines, Finders Distillery, Ensemble Theatre, Champagne Pommery, Bannerman’s Lawyers, Ken Done, Dan Grantham, Karma Resorts, Longview Vineyard, Pinot & Picasso North Sydney, Paringa Estate Wines, Verve Portraits, Helping Hand Group.
What made this fundraiser truly special was the sense of community that permeated the event. Guests came together not only to enjoy an exceptional evening but also to contribute to a worthy cause. The event served as a reminder that, when we come together as a community, we can make a real and lasting impact on the lives of those in need.
The success of the Green Moustache fundraiser for Mary’s House Services is a testament to the power of compassion and generosity. As we reflect on this memorable evening, we are reminded of the importance of supporting organisations like Mary’s House that provide vital services to those facing domestic violence.
Our 2023 International Women’s Day Lunch was an astounding success. 230 amazing women and men attended our lunch at the beautiful Kirribilli Club where we came together to #embraceequity, acknowledge International Women’s Day and raise money to support women and children escaping domestic violence.
We are pleased to share that we raised almost $65,000! These funds will be directed towards supporting Mary’s House Services to continue to provide quality refuge and services for women and their children escaping domestic violence and abuse.
Jacinta Tynan, our passionate MC guided us throughout the day, Aunty Margret delivered a Welcome to Country which bound us together in gratitude, Zoe Marshall shared her story of survival and Anna Sheppard reminded us of the value of spreading kindness. We’d like to deeply thank Jacinta, Aunty Margret, Zoe and Anna for sharing the day with us.
The Mary’s House community is unique. The heartfelt encouragement and the commitment to our cause from so many people in such diverse ways is extraordinary. Thank you for sharing the day with us and for your very generous help.
Thank you to Bisley Workwear who supported the event, to the Mater Hospital for your ongoing corporate support and to everyone who donated prizes for our raffle and auction, (listed below), those who donated financially, the event suppliers and our many volunteers who made the lunch possible. We would like to particularly thank our photographer, Fine Photography, our videographer from Storyteller Productions, Flowers by Min for their floral arrangements and Kwik Kopy, North Ryde, who provided us with their services, pro bono. We are so grateful.
Together we are supporting families to be safe, hopeful and empowered to rebuild their lives.
A big thank you to everyone!
Warmest regards
The Mary’s House Services’ Team
