The Grand x Salsiccia Bros

The Grand x Salsiccia Bros

We are proudly partnering with Salsiccia Bro’s in support of Fight4Jon.

We are supporting Salsiccia Bro’s in more ways than one! Our long weekend Aussie inspired Chef Specials, available from Tuesday 21st January at 5PM through to the end of the long weekend (unless sold out prior), include an exclusive Salsiccia Bros dish!

From Tuesday, we are cooking up ‘LAMB & LEEK SALSICCIA BROS SAUSAGES‘ served with Paris mash, buttery green beans, onion gravy & chive. $2 from every dish sold, will be donated to Fight4Jon. This enticing dish will be available all long weekend, unless sold out prior.

Our Friday Night Meat Tray is returning this Friday 24 January, raising funds for Fight4Jon. All proceeds from our weekly Friday Night Meat Tray from the last 2 weeks of January and throughout February, will be donated to ‘Fight4Jon’ to support Jon and his family.

Every dollar raised goes directly to Jon’s care. Your contributions will help fund the specialised care Jon requires, allowing him to maintain a quality of life and pursue his passions despite the heavy toll MND has taken.

Funds are raised through January – February 2025.


Fight4Jon is raising funds for Jonathan Catania, a young man battling the relentless progression of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Since his diagnosis at just 21 with ALS, the most common and aggressive form of MND, Jon has faced a devastating battle. MND has taken away his ability to walk, move, speak and even breathe independently, making each day an extreme challenge.

But Jon’s spirit remains unbreakable. Against the odds, he’s launched two exciting startups (including Salsiccia Bro’s), proving that although MND has robbed him of most of his physical capabilities, it hasn’t diminished his extraordinary spirit and determination.

With every passing year, Jon’s needs become more complex and the financial burden on his family grows. The funds we raise are critical to helping Jon access specialised medical care including alternative treatments and therapies that allow him to keep fighting and living as fully as possible.

Every dollar raised goes directly to Jon’s care, managed through our partner, HAFIN (Helping a Friend in Need). Your contributions will help fund the specialised care Jon requires, allowing him to maintain a quality of life and pursue his passions despite the heavy toll MND has taken.

By supporting Fight4Jon, you’re helping a family navigate an extraordinary challenge. You’re standing with Jon in his battle and lightening the load for those who support him every day, whilst providing Jon the resources he needs to continue his fight and live with dignity, ambition and a spirit that continues to amaze and inspire all of us.

An impressive $12,000 raised for ‘Pinking Up Warrandyte’!

Pinking Up Warrandyte

The Grand Warrandyte continuing its support of the local community achieving a record amount of funds raised through our initiatives throughout the month of October.

From meat tray raffles, to donating dollars from our ‘Booberry Mojito’ Cocktail of The Month and collaborating with the wonderful pink ladies of Warrandyte, we are pleased to announce we’ve raised $6,000.

As 1 in 7 women and 1 in 553 men are touched by this horrible disease, it is hard to go past anybody that hasn’t been impacted by Breast Cancer. We took the initiative to match the funds raised with a further $6,000 to make a grand total of $12,000 donated to ‘Pinking Up Warrandyte’ whose charity of choice is The McGrath Foundation.

As pinking up your town is a national initiative, we are beyond proud to have taken part in pinking up Warrandyte, the only metropolitan suburb in Australia to do so.

Thank you to our wonderful communities support, the directors of The Grand for their donation, our Grand Team and their enthusiasm and excitement to get behind this wonderful cause, we are grateful to be the heart of our community.

Watch the video our General Manager, Peter, proudly presenting the pink ladies of Warrandyte with the $12,000 cheque donated to Pinking Up Warrandyte on our Instagram HERE.
