Firstly the raffles & grandfinal day - we have many friends & family who have blessed us with their help and support. Donna arranged t-shirts for these fundraisers, and they are cute - we have below Lynne & Gabrielle modelling them at a raffle day ....
The t-shirt has a picture of a teddy bear with writing that says - I am helping HARRISON DRAPER with his fight against ADA-SCID.The raffles were quite a success - and the Grandfinal day raised $30,000 in profit - not a bad days work really!!
The golf day was next on Monday 8th October raising about $10,000 and this will likely become an annual event.Brett Kenny was the guest speaker and Doug Keen of the NRL development MC'd. We were lucky enough to have local business sponsorship for this day..We had about 100 players with a buffet lunch following the golfing.
Finally the benefit night at Gosford Racecourse. We had a lovely view of the floodlit racecourse... 170 guests, 3 course meal, flowing beer & wine and a great night.
Guest speaker Stuart Dickinson of the Australian Rugby Union - he is a ref, and recently is back from the World Cup. Doug Keen MC'd again and was also part auctioneer with Ashley Knight a local real estate agent.
David Proust did a fantastic comedy act warming up the crowd for the auctions.
Rather than uploading hundreds of pics though I did a video of the night.....
We have truly been blessed by the help & support of friends, family and business alike and without this support our success in these events would not have happened.
THANK YOU...... :)
next post will be an update on Harrison's bone marrow transplant progress - we are just waiting on some test results.
