Our annual fundraising ball was a raging success! Held at Auckland’s Hilton Hotel on Saturday 4 October 2014, over 200 fantastic guests attended and helped us raise $32,367.70 for our cause! A huge thank you to all sponsors, auction item donors, and to everyone who came along — we simply could not have done this without you. A special thanks to Murry Sweetpants and Jodi Pretscherer for your tireless work to pull this event together, you two are true legends.
Event details
Let’s Get Cleaned Up is back for the fourth time at Auckland CBD’s Hilton Hotel on Saturday 4 October, 2014. The Sustainable Coastlines charity ball is the perfect chance to get cleaned up, dust off the dancing shoes and have a rollicking good night. All while raising critical funds for our work.
Starting at 7pm at this fantastic harbourside location, we will have world-class entertainment, delicious drinks and a mouth-watering three-course dining experience; a stellar combination for a night that you will not forget. The evening features performances from:
- Summery singer-songwriter Jamie McDell
- The soul-powered funk of the Hipstamatics
- Special guest Peter Urlich
- DJ Murry Sweetpants
Secure a table of ten for you and your friends for $1,350 or get individual seats for just $155. Tickets include a three-course meal, all your drinks, world-class entertainment throughout the night and free ticket to the official charity ball after party at Everybody’s, 7 Fort Lane. We’ve even secured the photographic prowess of Barnaby Sweet to capture the evening.
All ticket sales along with live and silent auction packages up for grabs during the evening will raise funds for our ongoing work motivating and educating communities to look after our coastlines and waterways. This will be the night out to celebrate the winter’s end and ring-in spring. Strictly R18, sorry kids.
