Twin Hearts to test trivia

TWIN Hearts Foundation is hosting a trivia afternoon at the North Ballarat Sports Club on Sunday, 7 April.

Beginning at 1pm, the event will test brains, serve afternoon tea and raise funds for WRISC Family Violence Support and Kilimanjaro Women Information Exchange and Community Organization in Tanzania.

Kelly-Louise Austin, President and Founder of the Twin Hearts Foundation said she was born and bred in Ballarat and deeply values giving back.

“I am very passionate about my town and my community and I love to help the local small organisations and causes that perhaps don’t get the funding, recognition or help that other large organisations get,” she said.

“For each local cause or charity that we raise funds for, we also match with a sister charity in Tanzania to donate an equal portion of the raised funds.

“I have spent time working and living in Kenya and Tanzania, and I am extremely passionate about helping to break the poverty cycle for women and children around the world. Twin Hearts is my way of doing so.”

In the past, the foundation has supported First Night Care Packs, the Yuille Park Young Mums Program, Wendouree 1st Scouts, Pamoja, Investours Dar es Salaam and Girls not Brides.

They also organised a candlelit vigil following the death of comic, Eurydice Dixon.

“We have so many other causes we are so excited to support, as well as launching a scholarship program in late 2019 and hosting a volunteer trip to Zanzibar in 2020,” Ms Austin said.

Tickets for the trivia afternoon are $20 per person and can be bought individually or for tables of 10 at ballarattickets.com.au/event/twins-hearts-trivia-afternoon-8975.
