Circus theme dazzles and delights

In one of the strongest single fundraising events in recent years, this year’s charity gala ball, Circus – The Greatest Show on Earth, enticed 300 people on Friday, 16 May, from across Tasmania’s North and North West regions to gather and support the health initiatives planned at Clifford Craig Foundation.

Local community members and businesses united to offer an appealing array of live auction and silent auction prizes, alongside a circus-inspired game of chance. Attendees really embraced the spirit of the event, participating with gregarious, competitive and generous bidding. Over $40,000 was raised and we thank each and every person who contributed to making the event a success.

Thanks to Principal Sponsors NAB and JBWere, Gold sponsors St Lukes, Montile, MAIB, Flying Colours Group, Snooze, Jackson's Motor Company, and Nurien Ag Solutions, Silver sponsor Sara Redman, Bronze sponsor Ruby Sky Finance, Game sponsor McKillops Insurance and Event Partners VJAM, Encore Theatre Company and Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston. Thank you to the dedicated Event Committee volunteers and MC/ Ring Master, Rick Marton. A special thank you to Rebecca Welsh, Events & Community Relations, for planning and guiding this year’s charity ball again with gusto!
