Join the Sunshine Coast Business Women's Network on Tuesday 10th December for a delicious breakfast at The Bower Tree, at Sippy Downs, from 6.30am where we will celebrate the great year we have had and get into the Christmas spirit!
GUEST SPEAKER - Rochelle Courtenay from Share the Dignity
Rochelle is the Founder and Managing Director of Share the Dignity, a national charity founded in 2015 with the mission to ensure that everyone is afforded the dignity in life that so many of us take for granted.
Share the Dignity brings dignity to those who menstruate who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, domestic violence, or poverty through the distribution of period products and #Itsinthebag donations filled with essential items. The charity is powered by volunteers, and through Rochelle's contagious spirit over 6000 volunteers have jumped on board to make a difference.
Share the Dignity has collected and shared over 4.9 million period products through multiple initiatives across Australia. As well as holding national collections, Rochelle is passionate about advocating for change and creating long-term solutions.
Rochelle has received accolades for her work including Finalist Australian of the Year, Cosmopolitan Humanitarian of the Year and a Pride of Australia Award.
THE GIVING TREE - BRING A GIFT FOR WOMEN SUPPORTED BY LAUREL PLACE
We are excited to announce that we will once again have our Giving Tree at the Christmas Breakfast. We encourage all guests to bring a wrapped and labelled Christmas gift (please include a label indicating the details of the gift). These gifts will be distributed through Laurel Place to women in our region who are experiencing or have experienced sexual violence.
This year, our focus for Laurel Place is to help these women feel extra special. Some gift suggestions include dining out experiences, special food treats, pampering beauty items, and upmarket items that are not typically considered everyday necessities. Thank you for your generosity!
