Gala Event at Marvel Stadium

At the heart of the partnership, Mazzei Foundation and Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre believe in building a supportive community culture that encourages sharing global best practice and ultimately societal change. Events are key to not only raise awareness and funds, but to successfully engage and educate the community about the nature of and family and domestic violence and the ways in which we can effect change. By fostering a culture of understanding, transparency and action, the aim is to empower people experiencing family and domestic violence to escape the cycle of abuse and support sustainable changes to their futures.

To launch this partnership and raise charitable funds, we are excited to announce our inaugural Gala event at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, September 21^st. This special evening will bring together construction industry, building suppliers, community leaders, advocates and lved-experience advocates to celebrate our shared mission and commitment to ending family violence. The Gala will feature inspiring stories, entertainment and dancing, and opportunities to contribute to our cause, making it a night to remember.

Join us in our mission to support people experiencing family and domestic violence. Your donations, participation in our events, and advocacy can make a significant difference.

Giving back

Thirteen years ago, motivated by their own journey, the founders of Mazzei Group began raising charitable funds to turn their pain into purpose. Daniel and Samantha Mazzei, through the enormously generous support of both the construction industry and their own personal communities have raised and donated over $1 million to support victims of domestic and family violence, most notably participating in the Moomba Birdman competition for Bravehearts since 2011.

This year Mazzei Group launched the Mazzei Foundation dedicated to combating the cycle of domestic abuse, focused on creating safe spaces and offering support to those affected. Their efforts not only provide crucial support to people experiencing domestic violence and their families but also aim to foster a culture of education, understanding and action against family violence within the construction industry and beyond.

Our Mission and Safe Steps Partnership

Mazzei Foundation and Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre are united by a common goal: to raise awareness, educate and create safe and supportive environments for all people experiencing family and domestic violence. Together, they aim to maximise their impact by leveraging their combined expertise and resources. The Mazzei Foundation has committed to extensive fundraising activities for the benefit of Safe Steps. These funds will support the essential work of Safe Steps to ensure they continue to provide critical services to people experiencing family and domestic violence. For those staying in Safe Steps' critical accommodation, these funds will also provide crisis care packages, essential items and children's education supports.

The partnership with Safe Steps seeks to create a lasting legacy that addresses the immediate needs of people experiencing domestic and family violence and their family members, whilst working towards preventing future instances through education and community support. As momentum grows it is a long-term hope that together they can inspire those in our industry to join them in their crusade to work towards solving the issue of the lack of transitional housing solutions.
