International Women’s Day Breakfast Event for Neurodivergent women in the workforce and their allies. An la carte breakfast with bottomless coffee.

Melissa has Dyslexia and ADHD and will lead our morning with an empowering keynote on innovation, leadership, and neurodiversity.

In a world that too often builds walls, we believe in building longer tables. Feast for Freedom - A Longer Table From our Home of Hope in Footscray guests will share a communal table, dining on a curated menu created by refugee chefs from Palestine and Sri Lanka. Hear directly from the chefs about the significance of the dishes, their personal journeys, and the resilience of their communities. This event is more than a meal - it's connection, empathy, and standing in solidarity with refugees by celebrating the cultural richness they bring to our communities. All proceeds from this event will go directly back into the ASRC, helping to provide vital support services for people seeking asylum and ensuring long-lasting impact.

The Mazzei Foundation Gala 2026 promises to be a powerful evening that unites industry leaders, corporate partners, philanthropists, and community advocates in support of one shared purpose: addressing homelessness for women and children. Funds raised at the Mazzei Foundation Gala 2026 will help support Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre, strengthening their frontline response for women and children escaping family and domestic violence and facing homelessness. Every ticket purchased contributes to real, immediate impact for families at their most vulnerable moment. This year’s Gala reflects the Foundation’s belief that safe, stable housing is the first step out of crisis. By investing in Safe Steps today, the Mazzei Foundation is reinforcing its broader commitment to practical, housing-led solutions while continuing to build the partnerships needed to expand pathways over time.
