Reach 2004 Concert
My friend at work designed the poster for this event which was organised by his friend from Uni. Apparantly this guy just decided to organise this charity event out of the goodness of his heart for the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia (CCIA). CCIA’s vision is to save the lives of all children with cancer and eliminate their suffering. (And why wouldn’t you want to do that?)
The venue was the Star City Casino Showroom which has cabaret style seating (where you are seated at a table to watch the show). The live performances included Jon Stevens (who actually has a very good, strong voice and was a nice guy), Candice Alley (looks like Hillary Duff and was the subject of one of the “charity auction” items, Daniela Scala formerly of Scandal’Us (of Popstars2 fame - who has a pretty good voice and played the piano) and Rocky, Habib & Pauly from Fat Pizza (these guys were so funny - you either love them or hate them)! A string of scantily clad dancers from various dance schools performed some routines in between the singers.
Nearer the end of the night, they played a video from the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia showing small children talking about their illness which really pulled the heartstrings and surely made everyone decide to give more money during the auction.
Ok, you might think we are tight… but we didn’t pay to attend, we received complimentary tickets. We did buy a book of raffle tickets on arrival though. Normally this kind of enetertainment is not our cup of tea but I felt bad because no-one else at work was interested. I thought it would be nice to support the cause.
