A night of Glitz and Glamour in the nation’s capital Posted on July 16, 2012February 25, 2018 by Carly du Toit The Hellenic Club in Canberra recently played host to a cancer fundraising event organised by Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) supporters Wendy Newton and Lucia Nesci: a night of glitz, glamour, and giving. This was the first fundraising event that the duo have hosted and they raised over $4,000 for cancer research – a great achievement! They also gave a charity donation to a local not-for-profit organisation in Canberra. The night consisted of a three course meal, live band, and silent auction which included the sale of a NSW Blues State of Origin jersey signed by the entire squad and the coach. The ACRF are very grateful for the cancer fundraising efforts of Wendy and Lucia and 100% of the funds we received from this event will be going to world-class cancer research into all types of cancer.
