Let’s Get Cleaned Up | Sustainable Coastlines

Event Details

A massive thank you to the 270 guests that supported us by attending Saturday night’s charity ball. We had a fantastic time and hope you all did too. All funds raised during the evening support our ongoing work on coastal clean-up, riparian planting and educational projects, all aimed at sustaining and protecting our coastlines. 

A special thank you to:

  • Event sponsors, those who provided auction items, and those who bid for them!
  • Josh Williams, our auctioneer from Webb’s.
  • Everyone who supported our riparian planting projects by sponsoring a tree.
  • Our brilliant entertainers Michael Houstoun, Barnaby Weir, Nairobi Trio, Motor City Family Funk and MC Clarke Gayford.
  • Volunteer Event Managers Simon van Praag, Caroline Larnach and Mitzi Borren
  • Tim Lambourne and Joe Dowling from The Shutter Pirates for their photographic prowess
  • The dedicated Hilton staff for providing the fantastic venue.

Without you all, this event would not have been possible.
