Hi Link family,
After carefully reviewing the weather forecasts and associated safety risks, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Domestic Violence Awareness Month Fundraiser BBQ scheduled for Friday, 29 May 2026.
This decision was not made lightly. We know how important this event was to our staff, sponsors, supporters, and broader community.
Over recent weeks, an enormous amount of planning, preparation, coordination, and support has gone into bringing this event together. We know many people were looking forward to attending and standing alongside us in support of such an important cause.
A very special shout out and thank you to Julie Hohn and Taleah Spencer for coordinating and organising this event behind the scenes. The amount of time, effort, planning, and dedication you both contributed did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for all of your hard work and commitment to this important cause.
To our guest speakers Kelly and Deb from DVAC, and Joy Edwards from Link Community Services, thank you for your willingness to share your time, advocacy, lived experience, and support with our community. Your contribution to these important conversations is deeply appreciated.
We would also like to sincerely thank our sponsors and community supporters:
• Sheryl Dooley Hair Salon
• Nathan from Tow It All Toowoomba
• Potters Hotel Toowoomba
• John Gouldson
• James Oshea
• Wayne from Encouraging Cup
• Lyn Robinson
• Our Link Community Services staff
and everyone else who contributed to supporting this event and helping raise awareness about domestic and family violence. Your generosity and support genuinely mean more than we can express.
Although the event will no longer proceed as planned, the raffle draws will still go ahead.
Please keep an eye on our page for further announcements and updates regarding the raffle winners.
We are also proud to confirm that all funds raised will be donated to DVAC (Domestic Violence Action Centre) in support of the important work they continue to do within our community.
Thank you again for your understanding and continued support.
