The IWD Illawarra Lunch returns Friday 5 March 2027 at the WIN Entertainment Centre, where we will celebrate local women, award scholarships, and support women’s organisations. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates on this inspiring event.
Fundraising
The annual luncheon held in March around International Women’s Day each year, helps to fundraise for not-for-profit women’s services in the Illawarra. To date, more than $680,000 has been raised for women’s programs and services across the Illawarra.
Scholarships
The IWD Illawarra Committee awards eight individual scholarships of $2,500 each in 8 categories. To date we have awarded more than $220,000 to women in our community pursuing education, sport, business, research and creative careers.
International Women’s Day Illawarra
International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world each year on 8th March to acknowledge the gains women have made over the years, and to bring to our attention the issues that still face us. Most of all, it is a day to celebrate and recognise the difference and achievements that women have made and continue to make.
