Fundraising Progress: $32,035.90

Cocktail Fundraising Night

Thank you to all those involved in this years event. Our spon­sors donated unbe­liev­able items and our guests were gen­er­ous in ticket buy­ing, dona­tions and pur­chas­ing the amaz­ing donated items.  Our final tally for this year is over $31,400! Over the last three years we have now donated $82,000 to help in the edu­ca­tion of the slum kids of Kali­mati in Kathmandu.

A very spe­cial thank you to Emma Tay­lor of Sun­rise Orphan­age for fly­ing into Perth espe­cially for the event. Her talk touched a lot of hearts. Thanks to the suc­cess of the night, all the pro­grammes She hopes to achieve can now be funded in the com­ing year.  

We thank  ‘ The Dou­ble Shots’ Acoustic Duo for play­ing music for us through­out the night. Join­ing the enter­tain­ment stakes was world renowned shadow pup­peteer Ray­mond Crowe, Black Swan Por­trai­ture final­ist Mugurel Bar­bulescu doo­dling cards, Rachel from a real­ity cook­ing show there for pic­tures and a photo booth for all to have some fun in! The night was a huge suc­cess and thanks to all this tal­ent pool for giv­ing their time.

This years funds will be used for the following:

  • All School fees for 118 chil­dren for 1 year
  • School trans­port both ways from the Kali­mati slum for 1 year
  • Uni­forms, shoes, bags, books and sta­tion­ary for the students
