[EVENT] Queensland Parliament Fundraiser

Common Ground Gold Coast hosted a fundraising event at Parliament House with special guest and futurist Mark McCrindle. We'd like to thank the James Frizelle Charity for pledging $2 million to our cause!

On Wednesday 23 August 2023, Common Ground Gold Coast hosted a fundraising event at Parliament House. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for all the support at our fundraising event. This growing generosity is helping us make a real impact!

We heard from our special guests, futurist Mark McCrindle who shared some insights into Generation Alpha, Gen Y and how emerging Gen Z’s are more savvy than the others. Thank you to Mark for generously donating his time.

A big thank you to James Frizelle Charity who have generously pledged $2 million to support establishing a Common Ground on the Gold Coast.

Together, we are one step closer to our goal. 🎉
