Join us at Scarf’s annual gala fundraising event and help raise essential funds so we can continue transforming the lives of young people through hospitality.
Demand for Scarf’s programs has never been greater, and this event will help us provide opportunities to at least 60 young people facing barriers to work in the next 12 months.

Potter Museum of Art
815 Swanston St, Parkville
Featuring a 5-course menu by some of Melbourne’s most talented chefs — with matched beverages, table service by Scarf Graduates and a live auction filled with unique and exclusive items and experiences — this is your chance to do so much more than dine.
Running in partnership with the wonderful team at RESIDENCE at the Potter, this will be a celebratory evening of epic proportions. As well as indulging in delicious food and drink, you’ll hear Scarf Graduates share how the program has shaped their lives and careers.
Your MC's are renowned food journalist Dani Valent and Scarf Graduate Erfan Norouzifard (Co-owner, People's Coffee). Co-host Hilary McNevin, a story-teller passionate about Melbourne hospitality, will guide Q&A’s with recent program graduates and the wonderful guest chefs.
The Money Can’t Buy live auction, which helps to raise essential funds for Scarf programs, will be called by Scarf Ambassador Matt Preston and Gowan Stubbings (Kay & Burton).
