The Give Geelong Breakfast is one of the Give Where You Live Foundation’s longest running fundraising events.
In 2024, it raised over $51,000 to support people facing long-term unemployment, homelessness, and food insecurity. Funds raised at this event stay in our region helping to create a fairer Geelong community.
Our inspiring line up
🎙️ Keynote speaker: ‘Raygun’
Our keynote speaker Dr Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has championed the art of self-expression, showing the world the power of embracing what makes you unique since the Paris 2024 Olympics. While Raygun has sparked much conversation and debate over recent months and we acknowledge that some may find her controversial, we value the power of storytelling— in this case, a story of resilience, overcoming challenges, and finding purpose as this aligns with our broader efforts to support inclusion and resilience in our community. She will offer valuable insights into the realities and impact of online behaviour in the face of adversity.
🎤 Our MC: Amy Lehpamer
This year’s Give Geelong Breakfast will be hosted by the incredible Amy Lehpamer.
Born and raised in Geelong, Amy is a celebrated musical theatre star known for her performances in & Juliet, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and The Sound of Music.
Not only will Amy bring her signature charm as MC, but she’ll also treat us to a special live performance!
Guest speaker: Sarah Hayden
We’re also thrilled to welcome Sarah Hayden, a social worker, and dedicated advocate for neurodivergence, adoption, and fostering. As a mother to five—including world-renowned actor, author and autism advocate Chloé Hayden — Sarah’s story is one of deep compassion and tireless commitment to community. She is the author of ‘Parenting Different – How to Raise Your Neurodiverse Kids to Be Their Authentic Selves,’ released 4 March 2025! She is also the current Mayor of Golden Plains Shire.
