Event description

Please join me for a fun filled night raising money for Cancer Council!

To support my fundraising efforts, I am hosting a Star-studded event - Old Hollywood Glam

100% ticket sales donated to Cancer Council!

Your ticket includes a drink and a selection of delicious finger food at The Icon, plus an evening of fun with music, games, a photo booth, and more!

To help me reach my $5,000 fundraising goal, there will be both silent and live auctions featuring memorabilia, experiences, and more! Plus, don’t forget to dress to impress—there’s a prize for best dressed!

This special evening brings together community, compassion, and entertainment in support of those affected by cancer. Whether you’ve been personally impacted or simply want to be part of something meaningful, your presence will help make a difference.

Funds raised will go towards Cancer Council’s programs and services in the Illawarra region, supporting cancer patients and their families. It is through events like Stars of Wollongong that we can continue to provide the community with practical cancer support services including accommodation at the Wollongong Cancer Care Centre and transport to treatment, cancer prevention programs, local advocacy, 13 11 20 helpline and offer access to free financial, legal and emotional support.

I'm excited to share that I’ve been accepted to participate in the 2025 Stars of Wollongong Dance for Cancer! This incredible fundraising event will take place on Saturday, 31st May 2025 at WIN Entertainment Centre. Over the next three months, I am committed to raising funds to support those undergoing cancer treatment. In addition to fundraising, I’ll be training with a professional dance teacher, learning a choreographed routine to perform in front of 700 people on 31st May! This event is one of the largest fundraisers in our region, and I’m honoured to take on this challenge.

I hope to see you all there, but if times are hard, please consider donating even the price of a cup of coffee 🙏🏼

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Meet Marion Zahra, a dynamic entrepreneur, optical dispenser, and creative force behind multiple hats—including graphic designer, artist, cook, and mother. When she’s not running her business, Maisoń Mazaking, or working at Shellharbour Optical Superstore, she’s balancing life’s strings like a pro—except when it comes to dancing, of course!

Marion is motivated to join Stars of Wollongong Dance for Cancer in honor of her close friend Katherine Hawthorne, who passed away in 2023. Katherine was a true inspiration, embodying strength and resilience, qualities that Marion now carries with her. She is also inspired by the many cancer survivors in her life, including relatives, friends, and colleagues.

While her creativity and bubbly personality are her strengths, Marion admits she’s nervous about putting herself out there and dancing in front of a crowd. But with a little encouragement from her son and some old-school hip hop jams, she’s ready to hit the floor!

A self-proclaimed dance rookie, Marion hasn’t been on stage since high school but is excited to return to the dance scene. Her dream dance partners? Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, or Ciara—watch out, Wollongong!
