The date has been set for this year’s major Villa Maria Catholic Homes fundraiser- an event that is absolutely vital to raise money for quality and innovative disability, education and senior services that empower and enrich individuals and communities.

The fourth Dinner & Art with Heart fundraising event will be held on Friday June 3 and promises to deliver some exciting new features, favourites from previous years and of course raise funds for a great cause.

The event will be held at a stylish new venue, Crown’s River Room which boasts stunning views of the Yarra River and is in the heart of Melbourne’s entertainment precinct.

The venue truly comes alive at night with a private balcony overlooking the city skyline and Crown’s signature flame towers.

Comedian Jean Kittson returns as the night’s MC. The popular entertainer had last year’s audience in stitches with her humorous take on political travel expenses.

Last year’s 170 guests dug deep for the auction of amazing artwork and silent auction items donated to the fundraising event.

Their efforts raised more than $40,000 for the St Paul’s College Build a Bus program.

Money raised at this year’s event will help VMCH continue working in partnership with people of all ages and abilities to help them achieve their goals and dreams, remain connected to their communities and enjoy their independence.

Stay tuned for more details about entertainment for the night, contributing artists and other features that are sure to make the night memorable.
