The Great Gatsby Party raises $70,000 for the Women’s and Children’s Department at Northern Hospital Epping
The Great Gatsby Party was hosted by Northern Health Foundation on Saturday, November 25, where they transported attendees back to the opulent world of the 1920s.
The venue was alive with the clinking of glasses, laughter, and the rustle of flapper dresses and tailored suits as Northern Health staff members, sponsors, and guests gathered in their finest attire.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, the heart of the event was the collective commitment to supporting Northern Health Foundation’s fundraising initiatives that were woven into the festivities, adding a layer of purpose to the celebration. The main foyer hosted a lively balloon pop which was a quick sell out, as eager participants had the chance to win fantastic prizes.
The raffle table was adorned with prizes that ranged from luxurious getaways to a beautiful diamond pendant, kindly donated by Paton’s Place Jewellers. The silent auction, a hub of anticipation, allowed guests to bid on items, turning the night into a thrilling competition for a good cause. The generosity of sponsors and donors was evident in the array of prizes, allowing attendees to support Northern Health Foundation’s mission of building a healthier community for everyone in the north.
Together, guests contributed to raising over $70,000 for the Women’s and Children’s Department at Northern Hospital Epping, which is an incredible effort.
Melissa Grenville, Director Foundation, was thrilled by this outcome, saying “thank you to every person who attended and helped raise valuable funds at this event. We were thrilled with the result and are so impressed with our community who are great supporters and advocates for Northern Health. A special thank you to all our sponsors, including ISS, who partnered as our major event sponsor, and Lendlease, Henrys Café, and Casa D’Abruzzo who also sponsored the event.”
“I’d also like to thank all Northern Health executives, Northern Health board members, Foundation board members and our patrons, Josie Minniti OAM, Bev Carman and Trudi Hay for their support.”
The success of the Great Gatsby Party extended beyond that of the event. It symbolised a community coming together, using the allure of the past to build a brighter future for healthcare. As guests departed, they carried with them not just memories of a glamorous night but also the knowledge that their contributions would reverberate in the form of improved healthcare services, a testament to the power of unity and generosity.
From everyone at Northern Health Foundation, thank you for your ongoing support.
