Last year was undoubtedly one of the most difficult for many Peninsula businesses, yet charities that rely on donations and fundraising to continue their work were struck even harder.

With this in mind, SMART Business Solutions CEO and Committee for Mornington Peninsula president Shannon Smit decided International Women’s Day would be the perfect time to turn things around and bring the business community back together for a common cause.

You’re invited to join a fundraiser celebration of Women In Business on the Mornington Peninsula next month for a long-overdue face-to-face catch-up with friends and fellow business owners. Enjoy a wine and delicious finger food while placing your bid on the incredible silent auction packages and raffle, including vouchers and products from some of the Peninsula’s most coveted.

SMART Business Solutions will dollar match all money raised from the event to donate in full to Clothes 4U. Inc, a local charity that provides clothing and toiletries for women who are experiencing domestic hardship.

The fundraiser is on Thursday, March 11, from 7-10pm at Mercetta, 115 Main St, Mornington. Tickets are $49 and bookings are essential. Call SMART Business Solutions on 5911 7000 or book online at www.smartbusinesssolutions.com.au/events

Mornington Peninsula Magazine is the event’s major sponsor.
