2025 RAS Foundation Charity Brunch
Each year the RAS Foundation selects a grassroots not-for-profit making a meaningful impact in rural or regional New South Wales to be the recipient of the RAS Foundation Charity Brunch at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
In 2025, the RAS Foundation Charity Brunch raised over $65,000 for Birds in The Bush, a volunteer-run not-for-profit dedicated to addressing domestic and family violence in the Central West. Their mission is to raise awareness and provide support through empowerment, fundraising, advocacy, and education.
Funds from the event will directly benefit survivors of domestic and family violence in Central West NSW, with a significant amount funding the construction of a trauma-informed playground at The Orchard Bathurst - a refuge that urgently needs a safe and healing space for children impacted by domestic and family violence.
“The RASF have a proud history of building strong, sustainable and resilient rural and regional communities in NSW. Their values are closely aligned with our own and it has been deeply gratifying to partner with them in achieving an incredible outcome for women and children survivors of domestic and family violence in the Central West.” - Birds in the Bush Founder, Vanessa Vazquez.
