Foundation Daw Park Ball 2010
Originally uploaded by DBG Technologies
On Saturday 17th April, our DBG Technologies team and friends attended the Foundation Daw Park 2010 ANZAC Commemoration Gala Ball at the Entertainment Centre with 450 other guests.
The evening had a Middle Eastern theme to recognise our soldiers currently fighting in the Middle East. The room was decorated with brightly coloured silks, lanterns on each table, harem girls and a camel welcoming guests, and a Middle Eastern inspired menu.
Hosted by Channel 9’s Brenton Ragless, the evening was both a celebration of the fantastic work done by Foundation Daw Park, and a moving tribute to the ANZACs.
One of the highlights of the evening was the Major Auction, with 9 wonderful lots that raised thousands of dollars in support of the Foundation. We put our hand up and purchased a state-of-the-art Scooter World Wheelchair which was donated back to the Repatriation Hospital for use in the Daw Park facility.
A great night was had by all – we can’t wait for the next instalment in 2011!
Foundation Daw Park Government House Cocktail Party
On June 5th we attended a reception at the picturesque grounds of the Governor General’s House which was hosted by his Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce AC CSC RANR, Governor of South Australia and Mrs Scarce where we were personally awarded a certificate of appreciation by Foundation Daw Park for our silver sponsorship of the Anzac Commemoration Gala Ball held at the Hilton Hotel Adelaide earlier this year. As part of the reception we mingled with over 70 friends, sponsors, volunteers and guests of Foundation Daw Park and enjoyed a tour of the facilities and grounds.
