WAM GALA RAP

 31/07/09

What a fantastic night! 190 people celebrated the inaugural Wild About Max Gala Evening.

Our guests arrived and sipped on pink drinks and listened to the amazing duo Swirl enjoying roving canapes served by the gorgeous staff at Red Scooter. Colin Wilson welcomed us and we were seated and watched the beautiful photo presentation by Meaghan Cook. 

This set the scene for sharing Max's story, our beautiful boy living with this rare genetic disorder called Sanfilippo Syndrome.

Mark Wilson was introduced to us and it was a lovely parallel as he spoke so fondly and proudly of his 15 year old boy participating in a dance competition in Italy. Mark understands the vision of Wild about Max, working on "Dancing with the stars" he sees how charity can make a difference to many peoples lives.

 Guests mingled amongst the silent auction items and had a groove on the dancefloor. We were then treated to a fabulous Live Auction presented by Mark Staples from Hocking Stuart. How fantastic! everyone got involved and it was very entertaining. We needed those Icecreams to soothe the throat from all the talking and laughing.

As the night drew to an end the music continued and the team continued the hard work of consolidating all the items and payments. We said our farewells it went so fast... will have to do it again next year!

Thanks to all supporters and sponsors who helped raise over $30,000.
