This year the family are looking forward to hosting their fifth event and it’s all happening on Friday 29 March.
Tickets are on sale now at $130 per person – incredible value considering it includes a three-course meal, drinks and fantastic live entertainment.
Party-goers will also be invited to spend big on amazing raffles along with live and silent auctions. Naturally, all money raised goes toward childhood cancer research, and Dr Geoff McCowage, a paediatric oncologist at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead will be attending to answer any questions people have on the subject.
Also attending will be Sarah and Joshua Weir who tragically lost their daughter Evie Grace to neuroblastoma just before Christmas 2017. From diagnosis in 2013 at two years of age, Sarah wrote about Evie’s journey in a blog titled Pray for Evie. Sarah will share some of that journey with guests on the night.

But if you’re planning on attending this year’s dinner, be quick! This event always sells out within weeks of being advertised.
“Last time we had to knock guests back because tickets sold-out three weeks prior, and unfortunately some of our regulars missed out,” said Jane. “But it was lovely to see so many new faces.”
This is one family that know how to put the fun into fundraising. To date they, along with their very generous guests have raised a whopping $300,000; enough to fund one science project for three years or more. Yet, the team are not resting on their laurels.
“We respect Col so much. We made a pledge to keep supporting him and raising money for The Kids’ Cancer Project until there’s no need for fundraising anymore because a cure has been found.”
