Community

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.

It’s time to come together and keep our legends where they belong … in the pub!

Announcing the total amount raised in April and who we’ll be raising funds for throughout May:

With a massive thank you to our community for their kind generosity, we are proud to announce we raised a total of $1,057 for The Good Friday Appeal during the month of April.

Head down to The Grand on Friday nights to help us raise funds and awareness for a different charity each month. All proceeds raised will be donated at the end of the month.

Throughout the month of May, we will be raising funds and awareness for: Jake Habel

The charity specifically chosen is for a local Warrandyte family currently going through a difficult time.

Jake is an amazing, adventurous young man who has recently been diagnosed with Leukaemia. Jake has recently started chemotherapy which has taken a significant toll. The GoFundme (linked below) aims to try and alleviate some of the financial stressors so Jakes family can focus on being there for him 100% of the time.

Can’t make our Friday Night Meat Tray Raffle? You can donate directly to The Habel Family HERE!

Adding to our commitment to the environment, we welcome Mil-tek cardboard baler and waste compactor to our venue. 

This reduces our carbon footprint and improves our sustainability targets to minimise the number of waste collections weekly.

In addition to our BottleCycler, we are excited to have two of Mil-Tek’s products on board.  

Head to our ‘Community‘ page to discover the local organisations and charities we sponsor yearly, or support through raffles and donations. On this page, you can also find the impressive statistics we have already saved the environment with BottleCyler.

This is a small, yet vitally important, way that we are supporting our community and acknowledging the impact that we all have on climate change.

Here’s our team training upon installation and our two new Mil-Tek products at The Grand:

We are thrilled to announce the return of our Friday Night Meat Tray launching this Friday 10th of March!

Head down to The Grand this Friday night to help us raise funds for charity. The Friday Meat Tray Raffle will continue every week from now!

Throughout the month of March, we will be raising funds and awareness for: The Good Box

The charity specifically chosen is ‘The Good Box’. An Australian Charity and social enterprise dedicated to helping people experiencing homelessness to receive vital resources with dignity.

Their mission is to abolish misconceptions surrounding homelessness to prevent isolation and increase communication. They provide beautifully packed boxes to those experiencing homelessness. These boxes are filled with quality, essential items such as food and hygiene products to help those experiencing homelessness to get through some tough times. As well as providing the boxes, they also run educational programs for schools and organisations to remove the stigma around homelessness, educate and connect.

Thank you to Brent Honey at Honey I’m Home for partnering with us to make a different through dance.
