We are absolutely thrilled and bursting with pride to announce that our Founder, Keeley, has been named YOUNG CHAMPION OF THE YEAR 2023 at the prestigious Beam Awards, held at The Westin Brisbane. This incredible recognition is a testament to Keeley’s relentless dedication and passion in making a positive impact on the lives of children with autism and intellectual disabilities.

Congratulations Keeley! We couldn’t be more proud of you – you are absolutely killing it! Keeley’s Cause has always been about breaking barriers and empowering others, and this award is a shining example of your incredible leadership and commitment to the cause.

A huge congratulations and heartfelt thank you to Beck Smith for creating the Beam Awards and providing a platform to recognise exceptional individuals like Keeley. This prestigious award is a testament to the impact Keeley’s Cause is making, and we are grateful for the recognition and support from the Beam Awards team.

The night held an unexpected surprise when an exquisite painting, created on the spot by the talented @artistsarahrowan, was auctioned, with ALL proceeds going to Keeley’s Cause. We were overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of Petina Tieman, the founder of Australian Women in Business, who placed the winning bid of $1800. But that wasn’t all! Peter Di Bella and his wife at @the.coffeecommune doubled the donation, making the final total an astounding $3600 contributed to Keeley’s Cause.

We cannot find enough words to express our gratitude to all the generous souls who made this unforgettable evening possible. Keeley and our team were left in tears, deeply moved by this astonishing gesture of support. These donations will have a profound impact on Keeley’s mission to empower children with autism and intellectual disabilities.

As we reflect on this unforgettable night at the Beam Awards, we are filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy. Congratulations once again to our incredible Founder, Keeley, for winning YOUNG CHAMPION OF THE YEAR 2023 – your dedication and passion continue to inspire us all.

From the depths of our hearts, THANK YOU for being a part of this journey with us. Together, we will continue to create a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

With boundless appreciation and love, The Keeley’s Cause Team ❤️❤️❤️
