On Thursday 10 November, approximately 220 people enjoyed an evening of music, food and entertainment at Glass Brasserie, Sydney Hilton to raise money for the George Gregan Foundation. Lending their support on the evening were Foundation ambassadors Mark Lizotte, Phil Waugh, Jenny Morris, Peter Overton, Jessica Rowe and Matthew Burke.

Highlights of the evening include the soulful voice of Gary Pinto accompanied by guitarist Michael Dolce, with an impromptu performance by the delightful Shanti Woodend. The food was spectacular, the auction was nail biting and the rocking tunes of Diesel got the dance floor moving. It was a fun night and guests generously pledged donations from the National Playground Wish List of equipment and towards the George Gregan Foundation Fellowship.

The Foundation would like to thank the wonderful efforts of Mark Lizotte, Diesel, Gary Pinto, Michael Dolce, Matthew Burke, Peter Overton, Gerry Coary, Jessica Rowe, Deepak Gill, Mark Daley, Katie Power and all the volunteers who gave their time at the event.
