We raised $25,000 for the Migration Museum!

Thank You To All, From A Taste of Home Committee

To all who attended and supported our event, we thank you all. The sell-out event raised much needed funds for the redevelopment of the museum. To our generous sponsors and volunteers a big thank you to all of you.

Supporting the Migration Museum Foundation

Funds raised at our inaugural A TASTE OF HOME 2018 Gala Dinner will support the Migration Museum Foundation and the Stage 4 redevelopment of permanent galleries at the museum.

This event will celebrate the triumphs and journey of migrant leaders, influencers and businesses to South Australia.

This year’s fundraising dinner coincides with the 20th year of Immigration SA and will mark South Australia welcoming the 100,000th skilled migrant including their families who will make our great state their new home.
