A huge thank you to everyone who attended our 10-year anniversary celebrations on October 12th at the Myer Mural Hall in Melbourne. Over 260 of our amazing supporters dressed up, showed up and helped raise much needed funding for neuroendocrine tumours.
The night was dedicated to honouring the people from our past and present who have helped to make the Unicorn Foundation the organisation that it is today, and a massive $80,000 was raised as a result of the night for people living with NETs! All profits raised from this memorable evening are going back into NET research and patient support.
Our MC for the night, Ron Wilson helped to keep the evening on track with his heartfelt opening and quick wit throughout the night. Auctioneer, Andrew James from Hocking Stuart Armadale ensured that live auction bids kept rising and entertainer, Adelaide Clark and her talented band got everyone out of their seats and onto the dance floor before the night was through. Everyone enjoyed the wonderful wine from Matt and Lou Fowles and thank you to Damien and Fi Mori for providing the cold Furphy beer!
We have had such fantastic feedback from our Video (produced by Visual Domain) that we viewed on the night which we will be linking to in our next enews.
A special thank you to all who have shown their support over the last decade, including our Co-founders, our staff, board members, volunteers, donors, consumer advisory group, patients and families - without you we wouldn't be able to contribute as much as we do to NET research, NET patient care, NET support and NET advocacy programs.
We're excited to see where the next ten years takes us!
