October '09 Leukaemia Foundation Charity Ball

Leukaemia Foundation Ball and Charity Auction, Adelaide.

In May this year I donated a painting to the Leukaemia Foundation to be auctioned at their Charity Ball, which was held at the Adelaide Hilton on the 31st (see May Blog). It was a fabulous night for a wonderful cause! The foundation put on a superb event which was hosted royally by the Hilton Hotel. With Tom Burlinson performing Sinatra classics together with a very generous audience, the 'Swing into Action Ball' was a huge success and raised much needed funds for the foundations' accommodation village here in Adelaide.

The painting, which was named by the chief sponsor, BAE Systems, 'Ode to the Barossa' made $4000 thanks to enthusiastic bidding and a very entertaining auctioneer! We thank the winning bidder for their generosity with all proceeds raised going directly to the charity.

We wish the Leukaemia Foundation all the very best with their future endeavours!
