Zonta Club of Noosa
The Zonta Club of Noosa held its first meeting on 26 March 1993. The club held many very successful fund-raising activities in the early years including creating the pink fun run held prior to the Triathlon, numerous balls, fashion parades, picnic race days and pop-up fashion shops. The money raised from these events was used to empower women and girls in the local community through donations to the construction of a women's shelter, provide health services, and scholarships and bursaries for school girls and university students.
​
Zonta Noosa continues to be passionate advocates for women’s rights, conducting awareness raising campaigns including Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women, as well as projects to inspire more female leaders. Our current activities include providing scholarships to local girls going on to study STEM subjects in university, three University bursaries to women studying at Sunshine Coast University, creating care packs which are distributed to women and children fleeing domestic violence plus the homeless, making breast cushions for women who have had mastectomies, making birthing kits and holding fund raising events such as sausage sizzles and Trivia nights to donate to the Rise2 Foundation and DV Safe Phone.
