In May 2020 our (then) 9 year old daughter Charli was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (blood cancer) and on the 15th May this year she will complete *2 years* of treatment. It's been one helluva ride and we are keeping everything crossed that there will be no traces of leukaemia cells when she has surgery on 18th May.

Over the last 2 years we’ve raised over $190,000 for charities supporting childhood cancer, which is a huge testament to the power of our incredible community who have been heavily involved in helping us make such a positive impact - it's been nothing short of extraordinary!

So it probably comes as no surprise that we would like to mark this huge milestone for Charli with a big celebration that combines a lot of fun with raising much needed dollars for four key charities that really make a huge difference in the childhood cancer space:-

Childrens Cancer Institute - where all the much-needed research is done to cure childhood cancer
Illawarra Convoy - supporting families with children facing life threatning illnesses in the Illawarra
RedKite - who provide families facing childhood cancer incredible emotional and financial support
Camp Quality - who give kids facing cancer the chance to be kids again

So on Saturday 18th June 2022 we are holding a very sparkly celebration where we get to do allllll the things that covid has stopped us from doing for such a long time, whilst making a difference to children like Charli and families like ours who hear those dreaded words "your child has cancer".

To help celebrate this milestone, and kick off our inaugural event, we have a wonderful line-up of entertainment for the night including acoustic delights from Claudia Cerroni; Mel Kitto as MC; energetic trio 'Scissors Paper Rock' who will have you running to the dance floor faster than you thought possible; Kirsty Everett - best selling Author of 'Honey Blood', and Dr Charles De Brock from The Childhood Cancer Institute. There will be lots of giveaways, prizes and an opportunity to secure some fabulous items from both the silent and live auction and raffle.

You'll also enjoy a glass of bubbly and canapés on arrival, a delicious two course meal, and a bottle of red & white wine plus juice to share per table of 10.

All held in the beautiful main ballroom at The Novotel Northbeach Wollongong, this is a fancy affair that you won't forget!

PLEASE NOTE: This is an adults-only event. As much as we would love your little ones to join us, this is a fundraising event with no entertainment for children. There will be some oncology kids present as they are an important part of the night, but I'm afraid we aren't opening the event to any other children. Thanks for understanding.

ALL profits go directly to the four charities mentioned above.

We really hope you can join us - it's going to be a night to remember and we'd love you to be there to share in the celebration and success!

See you on the 18th!
