Social Events
Members of Zonta Club of Caboolture and our friends enjoy getting together for a great cause and being social at the same time. We connect to make a difference, to celebrate and to work on projects we care about. Three of our major social events that we run every year include: International Women's Day, Breast Cushions Day and Birthing Kits Assembly Day.
International Women's Day - A Celebration of Women

Each year Zonta Caboolture celebrates women in our community by holding a luncheon with 200 guests including representatives from local schools, charity organisations and Zonta Club of Caboolture.

Breast Cushions Day
Every year, Zonta Club of Caboolture members and friends of Zonta gather to sew and stuff breast cushions. In 2023 on Breast Cushions day we stuffed and sewed 150 breast cushions. A great effort by all who attended. These cushions are donated to local hospitals in Caboolture to give to women recovering from surgical procedures for the treatment of breast cancer.
Contact us if you know someone who is having breast surgery and would like a breast cushion to support their recovery or if you would like to join us to make breast cushions.

Fashion Parade Morning Tea
Another fundraising event by Zonta Club of Caboolture is our annual Fashion Parade morning tea held in September. In 2023 it was a Rockin and Rollin Fashion Parade with fashions by online women's clothing store, Between Us Girls. The Fashion Parade raises funds through raffle ticket sales and entry fees. We would like to thank every one for coming along and participating eagerly in the games and raffles, as well as some rock and roll dancing. Many people came dressed in 1960’s gear and indulged in beautiful savoury and sweet food made by the members of Zonta Caboolture. It was a very successful fundraising event.

Advocacy Events

Domestic Violence Awareness Month
May is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and in 2023 Zonta Club of Caboolture raised awareness by partnering with two gyms. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month we share information about the eight signs of domestic violence and the twelve signs of coercive control. This also includes sharing information about emergency contact information for people experiencing domestic violence to seek support and assistance. Another way we raise awareness against domestic violence is with our Zonta Says No banner. During May it is raised in Centenary Lakes Park, Caboolture. |
