RSPCA World Animal Day
Gala Ball
RSPCA World Animal Day Gala Ball

On Friday 2 October, the RSPCA held its 6th
Annual World Animal Day Gala Ball at the
Sofitel Melbourne on Collins. This wonderful event, attended by 469
guests, raised over $183,000 for animal welfare and adoption services.
Hayden
Wood provided a sensational ‘flair’ bartending demonstration and Big City
Beat had all of our guests dancing the night away! MC, Mark Holden, did a
fabulous job of entertaining our guests and helping the night run smoothly.
We were also joined by World Champion athlete, Tamsyn Lewis, long-term RSPCA
supporter, Peter Alexander and Holden racing driver, Tony D’Alberto.
The live and silent auctions, which raised a record $91,000, featured a vast
range of exciting items including a 10-day trip to the Galapagos Islands and
a signed Barack Obama book! We were very fortunate to have
auctioneer Will Fowles and to receive so many wonderful donated items for
the auctions and our gift bags. Special thanks should also go to Betty
Amsden OAM for sponsoring gifts for our guests.
The opportunity to sponsor the RSPCA Animal Ambulances was purchased by
Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon character and animal rescuer, Go, Diego, Go!
will be the ambassador for this sponsorship and we look forward
commencing this wonderful partnership.
We would like to thank our guests and everyone that supported this event.
We also owe special thanks to the wonderful volunteers that gave their
time to assist in the co-ordination of the event and on the night. At this
year’s event there was a focus on our volunteers and the agencies and
individuals that so generously provided their time and funds towards the
animals affected by February’s bushfires.
The
Gala Ball was proudly supported by Major sponsor, TressCox Lawyers and
Supporting sponsors, Modern Promotions and Mitsubishi Motors Australia.
We look forward to welcoming you to our 2010 event on
Friday 1st October. Tickets on sale from June.
A special thanks to our sponsors, without whom this
event could not have been possible:
