2011

Mirabel was a thrilled recipient of a generous donation from the Newman’s Own Foundation which will be used to purchase a much needed vehicle and help fund several camps and trips away for the children. Multi award winning chef, Adam D’Sylva nominated Mirabel to receive the grant as part of the Paul Newman’s Own 10 Chefs x 10 Charities campaign.

The Financial Review Corporate Cycling Challenge is the first cycling event of its kind to be held in Australia, offering corporate teams the chance to compete with and against Australia's Tour de France stars and other elite sporting talent. Held at Eastern Park in Geelong on Sunday 4 December 2011, Mirabel would like to thank Corporate Cycling Challenge and all involved for supporting the work we do with disadvtanged children.

Thanks to Grill’d Windsor for showing us that Local charities really do Matter. Help make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children by putting a token in Mirabel’s jar this month at Grill’d Windsor.

An unlikely cast of Australian identities and celebrities-turned-actors, including Mikey Robins (Good News Week), will battle for ego supremacy without a safety net for a one-off charity performance in an adaptation of David Williamson’s hit play, Emerald City at The C.U.B Malthouse on 1st June 2011.

This year was Mirabel’s 13th Music, Mirth & Mayhem benefit concert, generously supported by the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.   

The child is central to Mirabel's work and we build all of our programs and services around the needs of the child, their kinship carers, their environment and their community. Over the past 12 years Mirabel's activities with the children and our supporter base have been documented in the media by academics, journalists, community groups and individual supporters.  As of 2011, Mirabel would like to share these stories on our new website page 'Mirabel in the Media' where visitors can read articles, watch videos and link to websites that examine and discuss Mirabel's work.
