Our 2012 Pancake Day ambassador, Adriano Zumbo
helped us celebrate in pancake style!
Adriano Zumbo came to Melbourne and performed a cooking demonstration at our 10th anniversary Pancake Day luncheon. He also visited ‘The Last Cuppa’ cafe – which is run by Wesley Mission Victoria, one of UnitingCare’s agencies. The Last Cuppa offers employment in the hospitality industry to people with a disability or mental illness.
UnitingCare Pancake Day encourages people to have fun with friends while supporting those in our community who are doing it tougher than most.
Each year, hundreds of groups across Victoria and Tasmania rally to cook and sell pancakes for UnitingCare. In 2011 almost 400 groups registered to host an event and together they raised nearly $70,000. These funds are helping UnitingCare provide practical support to people in need.
UnitingCare Pancake Day has touched lives and brought about lasting change for many people. In 2011 money raised through Pancake Day events was used to support a range of programs, from providing support to women who are isolated and lack the support networks they need, to providing nutritional meals to the most disadvantaged young children in our community.
Our 2012 campaign focus is to raise funds to support education and programs for disadvantaged youth.
