GIVING DAY 2026 | WE DID IT!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU – we are profoundly grateful for your support. With your generosity and the extraordinary support of The Mentonians Association, $268,658 has been raised as at 8.00pm on 18 August to support the redevelopment of Keysie!

Your gift will enable us to kickstart the first stage of our new Master Plan that will ensure that Keysborough can continue to support our sport, our connections and our community long into the future.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

Our Giving Day platform will remain open until 8.00pm on Friday 28 August for those who may not have had the opportunity to contribute today. While every gift continues to be deeply valued and will directly support our Keysborough project, please note that donations made after Giving Day may not be eligible for doubling if all our matching funds are exhausted, but all donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.

Thank you for playing it forward for Keysie!

GIVING DAY 2026 | PLAY IT FORWARD

On Tuesday 18 August 2026, we will once again bring our community together for Giving Day.

Last year, we joined forces to change lives through the Mentone Grammar Community Scholarship. In 2026, we invite you to unite behind something equally important – investing in the future of the Keysborough Playing Fields.

For generations, pulling on the Mentone colours at Keysie has been one of the most enduring memories of a Mentone Grammar education. More than a School asset, Keysborough is where House spirit comes alive, where teams train, alumni reconnect, families cheer from the sidelines and where lifelong friendships are forged.

Now, just like any great team, it’s time to invest, evolve and play it forward. We invite you to watch this video message and join us on the day to help us reach our goal.

Every contribution helps make a difference, with each dollar raised being doubled thanks to The Mentonians Association, who are the major matching donor.

Play it Forward on Tuesday 18 August from 8am – 8pm and help us kickstart the future of Keysie.

Follow the live countdown at www.MentoneGivingDay.com and see you on Giving Day!
