Youth Solutions Annual Charity Event delivers sparkling result for youth programs
The Macarthur and Wingecarribee communities embraced the festive theme of giving early this year, when it came together to raise an incredible $74,000 for local youth programs at the Youth Solutions 2025 Annual Charity Event.
The celebration and fundraiser, held at The Cube, Campbelltown Catholic Club, supports the organisation’s youth drug and alcohol prevention, health promotion and wellbeing programs and services for young people.
For more 37 years, Youth Solutions has worked with young people aged 12 to 25, delivering workshops, programs and campaigns aimed at enabling them to live healthy, safe and well-connected lives. The programs focus on learning, participation and support, arming and empowering young people to make informed decisions around their choices and wellbeing.

Youth Solutions Chief Executive Officer Geraldine Dean said the Annual Charity Event had once again exceeded expectations, as supporters dug out red, green and gold clothing and accessories to get into the spirit of the night’s theme – Jingle in July: a festive winter gala.
“I know we have the most amazing community and supporters, but their generosity and willingness to get behind the work of Youth Solutions never ceases to amaze me,” Mrs Dean said.
“This event is so important to us at Youth Solutions. It is the highlight of our fundraising calendar and its success sets the agenda for the services we are able to deliver over the next 12 months.
“I can assure you all funds raised at the Annual Charity Event are invested back into our programs and directly support young people in the Macarthur and Wingecarribee areas. Support like this means will be able to deliver workshops to more young people, offer outreach services, bolster our resources and continue delivering what is needed to help our young people feel safe, supported and informed.”
Youth Solutions Manager Marketing & Engagement Amanda Dillon acknowledged the many generous sponsors and donors who ensured the success of the 2025 Annual Charity Event.
“This night only comes together through the support and work of many people and organisations. We have sponsors, businesses and individuals who donate prizes and then the event attendees who buy raffle tickets, bid on auction items and buy mystery prizes and of course, our amazing Fundraising Committee who help us to bring it all together,” Mrs Dillon said. “The Youth Solutions Annual Charity Event is truly a team effort and we are grateful to every single person who has supported our efforts this year.”
Mrs Dillon expressed Youth Solutions particular appreciation to major event sponsor, The Rotary Club of Narellan.
“Year after year, The Rotary Club of Narellan has stepped up and supported Youth Solutions. We can’t begin to thank them for their support, loyalty and faith in us,” she said.
“There are so many others whose valued support means Youth Solutions has the funds to continue to work with young people, educating and empowering them towards brighter futures. Walker Corporation supported the Annual Charity Event as a Star Sponsor and our Tinsel sponsors guaranteed the night was a success.”
“Lock in the date. Our 2026 Annual Charity Event is set for Saturday, 25 July 2026.”
