ESKAE Jeweller attended an sponsored a silent auction prize at this years Starlight Foundation Fundraiser:- 5 Designers Fashion Parade which was held on Friday the 21st November.
this is a great event that helps raise money for seriously ill kids, so that they can have their dream come true, both in and out of the hospital. the foundation brightens the lives of not only the kids, but also those of the parents as well, during a tough time in their lives. you can find out more information here.
during the fashion parade, we were treated to the fashion of leading designers such as BOWIE WONG and CHARLIE BROWN. these two designers for me were the highlight as they really hit fashion on the nose and showcased just what fashion is all about! feeling fantastic and expressing yourself the way you want to.
Bianca Dye from nova 969 was the MC and she is a great laugh! my wife and i were lucky enough to meet her and ended up having a great conversation with her about lots of different things and what it is like presenting on national radio sounds like a fun way to earn your living! we also met the 2008 miss Australia runner up, Sonia Lipski, this young lady is a class act, beautifully presented and all with a depth of person that is not common in people of her age group, i certainly don’t remember being so self aware at 20! good luck to Sonia in the 2009 competition.
all in all our night was a great experience and we are very happy to help out in any way we can possible, especially for sick kids. i would encourage any of you who are interested and able, to get in touch with Pino Foti at pino.foti@starlight.org.au he will be able to help you out and will certainly be able to point you in the right direction if you would like to contribute to the foundation in any way possible.
we do have some pics of the night, however our cameras battery ran out, as we forgot to charge it! we are waiting for the pics to come through from a friend of ours, once they arrive we will post them up here for you all to see.
our prize did go to a winner, we were able to raise several hundred dollars from the prize alone, which is a great result for the starlight foundation.
Sam.
