Brunetti Turned Pink in October for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

In October Brunetti turned pink for the National Breast Cancer foundation Pink Ribbon Campaign.

Along with the building façade, the bar at Brunetti Carlton was illuminated pink and customers were surprised when served their pink dusted cappucini! We definitely got everyone talking about the campaign which we hope raised lots of awareness especially for those women over the age of 50 who have never visited BreastScreen Victoria.

A special thank you to all our who purchased Pink Ribbon merchandise and our special Pink Ribbon chocolates .We would like to announce that together we raised $2300 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

On Thursday June 18^th a group of 220 cycling enthusiasts came together for a warm up to this years Tour de France with all profits raised going to the Amy Gillet Foundation.

Enjoyed by all, we raised a wonderful total of $5000 for the Amy Gillet Foundation, a road safety related charity aimed to promote awareness and safety between cyclist and motorist.

It was a night of fashion, film and philanthropy when Brunetti Carlton hosted the inaugural Girls’ Night Out event to raise money for TLC for kids.

The Girls’ Night Out, hosted by Sarah Vick, kicked off with a fashion parade, featuring Melbourne label Carousel and online international designer retailer, europeanwardrobe.com, followed by a movie screening at Cinema Nova, Carlton.

In true Italian style, guests were treated to traditional Brunetti culinary delights and champagne cocktails flowed throughout the night.

The event raised $9,300 for the charity, which aims to put smiles back on sick kids’ faces.

Women of all ages and abilities enjoyed a great day at the Brunetti Women's Coffee Club Ride. Sixty women arrived to start the morning with a Brunetti coffee before a ride briefing from Warren (Bike Now). Everyone then broke into small groups to start the ride with their Ride Angel. Weather conditions were warm and windy, which provided a great challenge as people cycled from Carlton to Kew Boulevard and back. People had the opportunity to learn about different obstacles including traffic, tram tracks, corners...and a blown tyre!

By lunchtime, the clouds had disappeared and everyone returned to the Women's Hub for a tasty Brunetti lunch (and more coffee...who could resist!). The shade of the umbrellas was the perfect place to watch the action of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour. Early racers were flying past as Rob (RideWiser) gave an informative talk about racing and fitness. Two lucky women won prizes in the raffle (a Brunetti cycling kit and a $400 voucher from Richmond Cyclery) and at 2pm all attention turned to the women racing in the Amy Gillett Cup.

A special thanks must go to our Ride Angels who all volunteered their time. The Angels were there to make sure that everyone found their way around the course, but they also shared safety tips, info about bikes and, most importantly, their passion for cycling.

For everyone who attended, don't forget to look at all the great material in your showbag. Plenty of upcoming rides and events, including a voucher for a FREE training class with the Ridewiser ERGO program.

To launch the Arctic documentary THE WHITE PLANET, Cinema Nova and Brunetti initiated an event designed to show Melbournians just how easy it is to be green. Tackling the serious, contemporary issues of climate change and turning them into an evening of fun, the event included a white themed fashion parade and party followed by a screening of THE WHITE PLANET. Taking mediums traditionally considered to cause problems for our environment – fashion, cosmetics, consumable goods – Cinema Nova and Brunetti turned them all green. With the help of eco friendly local fashion designer V.LITH, beautiful models from VIVIEN’S MODEL MANAGEMENT, carbon neutral beer PURE BLONDE , Organic tea and coffee from T2 and Vittoria, we went out to prove that you can still look incredibly beautiful and enjoy top of the range food and beverages whilst looking after our environment.
