Our first event last year, a trivia night, raised $40,000 for Glenallen School where my gorgeous George and Jaz went. We have directed this money to the families at the school, some of who are strapped for cash for things like a Foxtel subscription and a wall mounted TV for a child who now spends most of their time in bed. We decided Jaz needed exactly that and fortunately, we had the money to just get it. Not so every family. But I know how much joy watching endless episodes of Hannah Montana gave Jaz and think every family should have that kind of option. And we MJs were rightly proud of our first effort!
Our next event is in support of The McAuley Centre for women escaping family violence. You can read all about the amazing job they do at http://www.mcauleycsw.org.au/ As confident (some would say perhaps a tad too confident!) women of independent means, this is a cause we again feel strongly about. Not all women have had the benefit of our secure and privileged circumstances and we absolutely appreciate that.

If you can support this event, we'd be very grateful! Drop off some clothes, come along with some toiletries, buy up big! We'd love to see you on March 23rd from 10am-5pm at the Malvern Central School gym. All details are in the video.
And did you spot why we're called the MJs??
