PAST EVENTS

* Trivia Night  - 27th June 2010 *

HAT held its increasingly popular trivia night at the Pumphouse Hotel in Fitzroy on 27th June, raising $1,967 (and counting) towards HAT's Kimbwi Wells Project.

Highlihts of the evening included:

* Karaoke renditions for extra points, with a particularly memorable "Hero" by Mariah Carey and "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi.

* Mark from the Funky Bunch, who led the quiz (and left us in no doubt of his musical taste)

* The skull competition

* A bidding war for two beautiful Tanzanian "tinga tings" paintings, which raised $515.

HAT would like to extend a huge thanks to Mark, the Pumphouse Hotel for hosting the event, and organisations who donated prizes including the Pumphouse Hotel, Ameet's Homestyle Indian Curries, Koko Black other individual donors including HAT members.

Our next trivia night is pencilled in for late November 2010.  You can keep up to date with events by subscribing to HAT's newsletter or better yet, joining HAT!!

RECENT EVENTS

* Hats for HAT  - 20th November 2009 *

A wine and curry tasting and Melbourne Cup HAT parade fundraiser was held at the Victorian Department of Human Services in November, raising $1,156.73 for HAT.

Tasting wines were ordered through our partner Prospect Wines and curries through Ameet's Homestyle Indian Curries. Following the tastings, DHS staff placed their orders on an order form and that was it - they were delivered and (one suspects) many were enjoyed over the Christmas break and given as gifts.

You can run a wine drive for your work colleagues or friends at any time- have heaps of fun whilst raising lots of money for a great cause! Simply email Peter - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to ask how.

* Run For Tanzania  - Sunday 1st November 2009, 9am *

HAT’s annual charity fun run ran for the 5th consecutive year in partnership with the Coburg Harriers on the 1st November at the Harold Stevens Athletic Track, Coburg.  It was a fantastic day, with 97 runners participating, raising over $3,000 for the Kimbwi Wells Project!

We would like to say a huge thank you firstly to the Coburg Harriers for their continued support of HAT, and also to the many sponsors who made the event possible including our major sponsor Huggies, and minor sponsors Run For Your Life, Richmond Football Club, IGA East Melbourne, Ameet's Homestyle Curries, Dom's Balaclava Fruit Mart, and Angus and Robertson Epping Plaza.

A special thank you must go to Dan Tang and her sister Wendy, who together raised over $1,600 for Dan's run through sponsorship!
