Gears 4 Giving

Charity Gala Dinner

Friday, 8th November 2024

Our 2nd bi-annual Gears 4 Giving Charity Gala dinner was held on Friday 8th November 2024 with master MC Shane Jacobson.

A wonderful 3-course dinner by Ginger Catering Group was enjoyed by over 230 guests at the National Arboretum Canberra. Not only were the views and meals spectacular but the cars on display were well matched with the Gatsby Elegant theme.

Guests were taken on a trip back in time to the 1920’s and dressed up in flapper dresses and gangster style suits. There was plenty of reminiscing with guests taking the opportunity for a photo with some rare 1930’s Auburn and 1920’s Packard Roadsters.

A serious amount of funds was raised from our Charity Chase, Caricatures by Chris, Raffle and Poker Face activities on the night. With over $180,000 raised, there will be many Canberra Charities benefiting from the generous support of our guests and local Canberra construction businesses.

Congratulations to our raffle winners: Major Prize winner (Lee Millynn), 2nd Prize winner (Lachie Taylor), 3rd Prize winner (Mona Hemmati) and 4th Prize winner (Matthew Watson).

Thank you to Canberra’s community foundation and our partner for this event, Hands Across Canberra, for helping us support Canberra’s most vulnerable people and promote the philosophy of “Give where you live”.
