For the Love of Science
Posted: 21st February 2019
Last week’s inaugural 'For the Love of Science' fundraising dinner was a great success, with more than $130,000 being raised on the evening to support our ‘Rising Star’ research program.
Thanks to our wonderful guests for their support and interest in the Institute, and for sharing our vision to prevent, or more effectively treat, common diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, type 1 and type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.
Our event partners Peter Rowland, sponsors and supporters, all helped make the evening a wonderful night to remember, as did the incredible Kate Ceberano, MC Jim Wilson, Auctioneer Phil de Fégely, Guest Performer Michael Cormick and The Dan Hamill Band.
Many thanks to the For the Love of Science Committee – Karen Inge, Caroline Daniell and Kallie Blauhorn – for their hard work, dedication and enthusiasm.
And last but not least, congratulations to the lucky winners of our raffle prizes on the evening; we are sure they will enjoy their great prizes!
