THE MASSIVE SINGLES PARTY TO HELP END WORLD HUNGER

Q: What’s better than going to a great party with your single friends and meeting someone amazing?

A: Doing it to help end world hunger!

On Saturday 10th September join up to 300+ single Melbournians at Hightail Bar in the Docklands, for this unique CitySwoon Fundraiser, The Party to Help End World Hunger, with all profits going to The Hunger Project Australia!

Brett Couston, CEO of CitySwoon says “This event is all about raising both awareness & money, having fun, having a few drinks and maybe sparking up a relationship – all for a good cause. People are tired of staying cooped up at home after Covid and we are starting to see huge demand for in-person events again, so the timing couldn’t be better!”

Whether you are straightie-180 or rainbow by orientation; a millennial, Gen Y or Gen Xer, there will be dates for you! After a beverage or two to calm the nerves, the CitySwoon hosts will expertly match you with five or six potential hotties. Then, party the night away with your new connections.

Brett says: “There’ll be a DJ after the dating rounds, so stay and carry on into the night!”

Grab your wing-human or your single friends for a night to remember with all the feels and great karma – the Party to Help End World Hunger.
Earlybird tickets start at $59, going up to $89 for late bookings. Sign up and book online at

See you in the city!

CITYSWOON

Australia’s leading dating events company, CitySwoon, holds the Guinness World Record for the Biggest Blind Date, held at the Sydney Opera House in 2014.

Their unique tech spin on speed dating has gone viral around Australia and in the USA, Canada & the UK!

“The rest of the world love it too!” says Brett, “We’re in over 20 cities and 4 different countries across the world and growing fast.”

To celebrate their global success, as well as the return to in-person events, Brett says the CitySwoon gang felt like doing something for good: “Of course we love seeing people get together, marriages and babies and things like that, but we thought we might give back a bit.”

“So, we met with The Hunger Project people back in 2018 and we liked their approach. They’re in it for the long term and they genuinely believe they can end hunger. They don’t just hand stuff out and disappear, they embed themselves and empower people to change, and they make sure it’s sustainable for the long term.”

Pre-Covid, CitySwoon ran a series of fundraisers around the country for the Hunger Project. The first event was in Melbourne in November 2018 and was a roaring success with over $6000 raised and with many lasting matches made at the event. We think Melbourne can beat its own record this year!

THE HUNGER PROJECT

The Hunger Project’s goal is to end world hunger by 2030. This is about more than feeding the hungry, it’s about empowering them to break the poverty cycle themselves.
Who does The Hunger Project work with? People who are living in hunger in rural, remote villages in Africa, India and Bangladesh.
The Hunger Project have helped almost half a million people across Africa to live in self-reliant communities.
Currently, The Hunger Project is helping 16.1 million people in 13,000 villages.

As well as running programs such as education, microfinance, agriculture and health, THP have trained 395,000 local volunteers to lead change in their own communities.
Every dollar invested In The Hunger Project has a multiplier effect – it just keeps on giving!
Which is great news, since every dollar from your ticket to The Party to End World Hunger will go to The Hunger Project Australia. www.thp.org.au
