Gertrude Street in Fitzroy Melbourne may possibly be a contender as the most StreetSmart street in Australia. Birdman Eating, Ladro, Anada and the Builders Arms – all within 100 yards of each other - are all involved this year.
During the months of August and September 2008 we are asking all guests at participating hotels to add a $2, or more, donation for StreetSmart onto their room bill.
You’ve helped to raise $224,000+ during our restaurant campaign in Nov – Dec ’07, that’s a huge effort by our participating restaurants and their diners and all our supporters. This is an increase of 95% on 2006!
With the tally in for the 2007 campaign, our grants committees in each state have finalised this year's grants. We established a Grant Advisory Committee in each of the states which StreetSmart operates. This committee decides where the funds we raise will go. This year we have supported 55 organisations, with a total of 123 to date.
All the 2007 proceeds are out in the community helping improve peoples lives. We have heard back from many recipient organisations and here are just a few of the thank you notes we have received.
185 great restaurants are participating so gather your friends, family or work colleagues together and book a table, dine out and help out — it’s that easy.
