From our weekly meat tray raffles, to the auction of a pink football signed by the 2025 Collingwood Football team and donating $1 from every Strawberry Jam Sour cocktail of the month, we’re incredibly proud to announce that we’ve raised $16,852 for Pinking Up Warrandyte.

The funds raised go directly to the McGrath Foundation, helping place specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities across Australia. These nurses provide free physical, psychological, and emotional support to individuals and families experiencing breast cancer — both women and men — from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.

We’re so proud of our local community, our team, and everyone who contributed to this amazing cause. Together, we’ve made a real difference. 💖

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support throughout October! 💓

This October, The Grand Hotel Warrandyte is proudly supporting Pinking Up Warrandyte to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation, helping place breast care nurses across Australia.

We kicked off the month with a very special auction — a pink football signed by the entire Mighty Collingwood Football Club (Go Pies! 🖤🤍). The auction was hosted by Nicole Werner MP for Warrandyte right here at The Grand, and thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised a massive $1,300!

But we’re not stopping there…

We’re donating $1 from every Strawberry Jam Sour cocktail sold throughout October — so every sip helps support a great cause.

And we’re keeping the momentum going with our Friday Night Meat Raffle, where proceeds will also contribute to the McGrath Foundation. It’s a fun way to get involved, win some great prizes, and give back.

There are still plenty of opportunities to come down, enjoy a drink, grab a raffle ticket, and support this amazing initiative. Let’s keep pinking up Warrandyte and show what our community is made of 💗

Every Friday night at The Grand, our legendary meat tray raffle brought the community together — and this time, it was for a cause that hits close to home.

We’re proud to have supported RULE Prostate Cancer’s Protect a Legend Appeal, raising $4,968 to help fund vital research, early detection, and patient care for the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men.

Why It Matters:
1 in 5 Aussie men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Early detection saves lives — and your support helps make that possible.

From raffle tickets to every Parma Special sold in August, your contributions made a real impact. Whether you joined us for the raffle, a meal, or just a cold one — thank you for helping protect the legends in our lives.
