 YAY's Iftar Dinner 2019

Our YAY Iftar Dinner brought together our Board members, distinguished guests, partners and young people together as we celebrated Ramadan. We were honoured to hear from important leaders in our community, our Patron, Harold Mitchell AC, Chair, Greg Lee and State Member for St Albans, Natalie Suleyman MP. As the night went on, our guests met and dined with other respected leaders from community, sport, business, government and industry. It was a fantastic evening where we embraced and came together during this important time. We are extremely grateful to everyone who was involved on the night and would like to extend a special thank you to our speakers, dignitaries and guests for attending and showing their support.

Girls Leadership Program Iftar Dinner

The Girls Leadership Program hosted an Iftar Dinner where all the young girls and women shared dinner during the time of Ramadan.
