Over 400 people a day are diagnosed with Cancer in Australia. It is estimated that 1 in 2 Australians will receive this devastating diagnosis at some point in their life. One such person was community leader Mary Bonfante, who along with God daughter Maria Bonaccorso have set about to be agents for change, and through the joy of a gala event, seek to raise funds for the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse Cancer Hospital in Camperdown.
The hospital provides all the facilities to treat this horrible condition under one roof and their vision is to ‘transform the lives of those affected by cancer.’ The hospital is partly government funded but also relies on your donations and our collective community support. Mary and Maria invite individuals to a truly memorable evening. The Gala will be held at Aqua Luna Waterfront Dining at Drummoyne on Friday 25 August 2023 at 6.30pm.
The evening features a 3 course meal includes wine and beer, dessert, and a gelato bar. There will be a host of entertainment and activities featuring $10,000 in prizes including a helicopter ride over Sydney and a Gold Coast Holiday. Guest speakers will include Mrs Gail O’Brien (wife of Dr Chris O’Brien) and the night will be hosted by MC, Mr Roberto Scarselletta. Apart from a sumptuous dinner and a night of dancing, the highlight of the evening will be the best Italo-Australian entertainment that the country has to offer. Guests will be treated to the scintillating singing talents of Sara Mazell and Australia’s most loved operatic voice, that of Gaetano Bonfante, who are both certain to elicit standing ovations for their immeasurable talent.
The evening would not be possible without the amazing support of Janine Marra and Family Tree Funerals, Hoxton Park Shopping Centre, Canada Bay Club and all the amazing sponsors whose generosity will bring so much quality of life to so many. Dr Chris O’Brien, himself a surgeon and ultimately a sufferer of an aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer had a ‘never say die attitude’ and spoke of having a ‘lot of living to do’.
