It’s all in the details. Our shed was transformed into the dreamiest space for a recent wedding and we’re still swooning over every touch.

What an incredible evening! 🌸
Our Pink October Fundraiser at Tuggeranong Homestead raised an amazing $3,035 for Rise Above – Capital Region Cancer Relief — and we couldn’t have done it without our incredible community. 💕
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, bid in the auctions, donated prizes, and helped bring the night to life.
Special thanks to:
🎤 MC Michael Bower, for keeping the laughter flowing all night
📸 Mel & Michael from Mell Hill Photography"The Loop", for capturing beautiful moments and jumping in to support the auctions (we hope you enjoy your rooftop getaway and gin!)
🍸 Chris and Nicole for hosting the gin tasting, donating prizes, and rallying friends to join the cause – your generosity was incredible
Murrumbidgee Country Club
🎶 Cat Martin from Moku Music, for filling the gardens with music
💇♀️ MissyMagic Styles, whose donated voucher was won by a guest who had finished chemo that very morning – a moment that touched everyone’s hearts
🍰 Katrina & Harriet Williams, for baking homemade slices that raised $180
🥩 Griffith Butchery, Australian Wine Archives, and all our amazing donors for your support
You’ve helped make a real difference for local families facing cancer, and we couldn’t be prouder. 💗
🎟️ If you missed the night, you can still donate and help us reach our $5,000 target here: https://www.riseabovecbr.org.au/my-fundraising/94/rise-and-shine
By making a donation, you’ll also go in the running for a unique prize — the highest donation received by 31st October 2025 will earn the opportunity to place a message, logo, or business name on Gary, our friendly home-reared steer who loves to wander the paddocks along Johnson Drive, Calwell.
A fun and innovative way to advertise in Canberra while supporting a great cause! 🐄💛
