$3,000 Raised in Martha to Empower Local!
$3,000 Raised to Empower Local Women – Thank You! 💜
This March 2025, Martha Drink & Dine proudly supported International Women’s Day by partnering with Dress for Success Hunter & Newcastle – and thanks to you, we raised $3,000 to help women in our region step confidently into employment.
Your support through dining and sipping made a real difference.
Raise a Glass for Women
Throughout March, for every bottle of Martha Wine sold, we donated $20 to Dress for Success Hunter & Newcastle.
This special range, created with David Hook Wines, featured:
- Inner Cherry Pink Fizz – Sparkling Sangiovese Rosé
- Ship Mates Chardonnay – Classic Hunter Chardonnay
- Rosso de Novo Agony Aunt Red – Bold & balanced
Dessert That Gave Back
From 6–10 March, we donated 100% of the price of our featured dessert – Strawberry & Rosewater Panna Cotta – and Martha matched every dollar raised.
The result from these combined initiatives? A generous slice of the $3,000 raised went directly to supporting women in our community.
Why It Matters
“Over 3,000 women across NSW turn to Dress for Success for job styling and employment support,” says Carolyn Ellis, Newcastle Hunter Operations Manager. “This campaign helped women in Lake Macquarie prepare for interviews and find meaningful work.”
Scott Williams, CEO of Belmont 16s, shares:
“This wasn’t just about wine and dessert – it was about lifting women up. We’re incredibly proud to support such a powerful cause.”
Thank You for Making It Happen
💜 Every bottle poured and every dessert enjoyed helped us raise $3,000.
💜 You showed what happens when a community comes together to support women.
