The Brisbane Charity Regatta returns with over $100k raised for homeless youth

Our sold out Regatta set sail last Friday! It was one of our biggest events for our supporters in Queensland and the sun came out in full force to welcome everyone.

Over 400 generous supporters from the property and construction industry set sail from the beautiful Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.

“It is our collective effort that makes a tangible difference to young people’s lives.”

41 yachts sailed for homeless youth and spent the sun soaked Friday connecting with one another over food, drinks and a backdrop that was unbeatable.

Congratulations to our definitive sailing champions TTM who were sailing on The Gambler.

As the sun went down the party turned up as guests came off boats and into a transformed venue for the night’s festivities.

The Property Industry Foundation would like to thank everyone who attended and supported the Brisbane Regatta. This event raised over $100,000 which will go towards Haven Projects which will provide safe homes for at risk youth in Queensland.

Congratulations to our Raffle winners.

Thank you to our Queensland team, our sailing extraordinaire Ian Richardson, Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, our volunteers, the skippers and crew who donated their time and yachts to take us out on the water.

A special mention to our event partners who made this event possible. We wouldn’t be able to deliver such great fundraising events without your support.
