2011 Gidget Foundation Ladies’ Lunch
Mum Cha, Friday 6 May 2011

Wow! Mum Cha was such a buzz! The spirit of Gidget was there creating passion and panache. 500 women in one room produce a lot of noise, together with a lot of goodwill and amazing generosity. We were all entertained by the insightful words of Mia Freedman, and her images of computerised body transformations were compelling. Our delightful patron Lisa Hensley used her warmth and humour in creative ways to control the enthusiastic crowd in her role of MC. Our profit for the lunch was just shy of $60,000.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped to make Mum Cha such a memorable day. I would especially like to thank the wonderful volunteers who worked so hard in the weeks leading up to Mum Cha, and to all our generous supporters who donated the wonderful prizes. There was such a fabulous display of beautiful items and special experiences to bid for.

Money raised from the day will be funding our next project, a collaboratively partnered Emotional Wellbeing Centre which will help support vulnerable families.

To all our supporters - a huge thank you!

The Mumathon was hosted by Fit For Mum, Babes with Babes and Yoganic at Mosman Dance Academy on 24th October 2010. It was an exercise morning for mums of all ages and stages to nurture our minds, bodies and spirit.

It was a wet and wild day outside but that did not stop the attendees from having a great workout and raising awareness and funds for the foundation. The day was a great success resulting in a donation of $2,470.

The organisers secured some fantastic raffle prizes which were handed out at the conclusion of the sessions and everyone walked away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
