Formerly known as the Adelaide White Ribbon Breakfast Committee, the initiative was founded in 2008 by three women’s associations with a shared vision of driving meaningful change. What began as a local event has grown into a long-standing community tradition that raises both awareness and vital funds for programs focused on prevention, education, and early intervention.
Through the annual Adelaide White Ribbon Breakfast and other community events, Wake Up to Change has raised nearly $250,000 to support initiatives that break the cycle of violence and promote respect across generations.
White Ribbon Australia proudly supports Wake Up to Change in its commitment to empowering South Australians to take action. Together, we can continue building communities where safety, equality, and respect are part of everyday life.
