Thanks to our generous donors, we can take more creativity to young people in regional Victoria!

We are thrilled with the result of our end of financial year fundraising campaign, YEAH! 2025: Young people + Education + Arts = Happiness.

Thanks to the hard work of our Community Fundraising Champions and the generosity of many donors, we raised $23,712 in donations and seven of the nine communities reached their fundraising targets!

The towns that reached their $2,000 targets are:

⭐Aireys Inlet
⭐Ballarat
⭐Buninyong
⭐Forrest & District
⭐Mildura
⭐Trentham
⭐Upper Murray

The donations received will help us take creative and educational experiences to more young people in these towns and others in regional and remote parts of Victoria this year and next, ensuring all Victorian kids get to experience creativity on their own turf.
