Rotaract Events
Each year, the Rotaract Club of Brisbane Rivercity hosts two major fundraising events, where all money raised is donated to charities chosen by club members - one local and one international.
Since our Charter in 2015, our club has proudly donated thousands of dollars to our chosen charities, and initiated some unique and fun events in the process.
In addition to these fundraising events, our club hosts an annual series of professional development workshops, where by drawing on the skills of Rotarians in our cluster, our club members are educated on professional development areas of interest.

Professional Development

Movie Night

Replacing our famous trivia events, the Rivercity Movie Night saw its inaugural event in Oct 2020, spawning some spooky sequels in the process.

Trivia

Since being chartered in 2015, it has been tradition for the Rotaract Club of Brisbane Rivercity to host a trivia night.
