It was the perfect choice for a cause, so it just grew from there.
From the events held during the first three years, money raised was shared between The Breakfast Club, Chameleon Housing and the Redcliffe Area Youth Space, with each group receiving $21,000 to use towards local projects.
The past two events together raised more than $100,000 that went directly to The Breakfast Club and opened the hub that services homeless clients two days a week.
This year, the goal is to raise even more,It's important to me to help community groups, especially those non-funded by any tier of government, Dan said.

In addition to the great music, attendees will be able to enjoy a wide range of food trucks and drinks from the licensed bar, purchase merchandise from The Breakfast Club's stand, or relax in the chill out zone.
