Pig Day Out – Raising Funds for Jenny’s Place in Westlakes- 5 Oct- Toronto Hotel

Toronto Sunrise Rotary is bringing fun, colour and community spirit to the Toronto Hotel on Sunday 5 October with their much-loved Pig Day Out. This year, the stakes are even higher with all proceeds going once again to support Jenny’s Place, a vital local service for women and children escaping domestic and family violence.

Jenny’s Place has been helping women and children in the Hunter for over 40 years, offering crisis accommodation, outreach, legal and emotional support, and pathways to safer, healthier futures. With plans now underway to expand services into the Westlakes area, local support has never been more important. Domestic violence is sadly a reality in every community, and having accessible, specialised services close to home can make all the difference.

Pig Day Out promises to be a family-friendly extravaganza. Gates open at 11 am, with the first of five piglet races kicking off at 12 noon. Between the races, there’ll be delicious food and drinks, a jumping castle, face painting, superheroes to meet, and of course plenty of laughs and squeals from the track. Best of all entry is free.

By coming along, you’ll not only enjoy a day of entertainment but also contribute to a cause that saves lives. Jenny’s Place helps women recognise unhealthy relationships, provides safe spaces when they need to leave, and connects families with housing, financial and emotional support. The new service planned for Westlakes will extend that lifeline even further.

Toronto Sunrise Rotary has a proud tradition of combining fun with fundraising, and this event is a great chance to show support, catch up with neighbours, and help strengthen our community’s safety net.

So mark your calendar for Sunday 5 October at the Toronto Hotel. Come for the pigs, stay for the community, and leave knowing you’ve made a difference.
