Aurora Ball raises $100,000 for LGBTI groups
THIS year鈥檚 Aurora Ball has once again raised a massive $100,000 for LGBTI groups in the community.
鈥淲e鈥檙e so incredibly grateful for the generosity of this year鈥檚 guests,鈥� said Aurora chair Alison King.
鈥淭hrough our raffles, auctions and direct donations, their giving has raised over $100,000. The board is really pleased with these results, because it means we can continue to support the amazing work of our beneficiaries over the next year.鈥�
Guests were treated to outstanding entertainment at the ball, including a breathtaking aerial display by Aerialize and a brilliant performance by cabaret star Meow Meow.
Surprise guests Kinky Boots and Hot Brown Honey appeared at the end of the night, and DJ Dan Murphy wowed the crowd with a music set until the small hours.
Casey Conway received a standing ovation for sharing his personal and touching account of coming out, as an Indigenous athlete and youth role model.
The night was a huge success after selling out in just two weeks. The organisers thanked all their supporters and those who attended to ball to raise much-needed funds for LGBTI groups.
Aurora will open applications in September for its small grants program, providing funding for projects supporting the LGBTI community in New South Wales.
