Events
RuffTRACK would not happen without the support of our village. This year we are hosting a number of events to raise money to purchase our RuffTRACK FOREVER FARM. A place that our young people can have a permanent place to call home. We hope you, your family and friends can come along and join in the fun and support us.

RuffTRACK ALUMNI GATHERING
SATURDAY, 8 MARCH 2025
Save the Date! Limited Seats Available!
We’re excited to invite you to this must-attend event on Saturday, 8th March 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM at the Windsor RSL, Mitchell Room. Light refreshments will be provided.
This free event is a fantastic networking opportunity designed for former and current program participants, community services, carers, case managers, employment and training partners.
The highlight of the gathering will be an inspiring keynote address from Luke S. Kennedy, one of Australia’s most sought-after speakers and a leading mental health advocate. Luke, a successful business owner and author of REDEMPTION ROAD: A Thug’s Journey Towards Enlightenment, will share his personal story of transformation, overcoming adversity, and the power of second chances. His journey will inspire and motivate all attendees, making this an event you don’t want to miss.
This event is not only about hearing from Luke but also about connecting with like-minded individuals and organizations. Whether you’re looking to expand your network, explore mentorship opportunities, or discuss ways to enhance Rufftrack’s mission, this gathering will bring together key players in the community services.
In addition to Luke’s talk, we’ll be joined by Rufftrack Ambassador Daniel Camilleri from Hooked on Hounds, award winner in Hawkesbury Local Business Pet Care Category. Dan is an expert working dog trainer and consultant who provided valuable training for all our therapy dogs in the Rufftrack program. He will share his mission as our ambassador.
Finally, Rufftrack Founder Belinda Flynn—a Local Hero award recipient in the 2021 Commissioner’s Perpetual Awards for the Advancement of Women in Policing—will also be in attendance, offering her insights into her vision when founding the Rufftrack program.
Don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to hear from Luke, meet key industry leaders, and explore potential collaborations.
