Cirkidz perform at Foundation Dinner
Held at the Hyatt Regency Adelaide, the 2008 Foundation Dinner & Auction was a circus extravaganza celebrated under the big top in the Regency Ballroom.
Guests were amazed and inspired by circus artists, Cirkidz, who demonstrated their amazing capabilities while roving during pre dinner drinks and again later in the evening when they performed a daring stage show.
Our Foundation Scholarship of Excellence recipients, Shauna Madigan (2008) and Madeline Peters (2006) spoke eloquently about the wonderful support the scholarship has provided not only themselves but also their families.
Trinity Old Scholar and Network 7 Reporter, Caroline Kelly was Master of Ceremonies for the evening and did a remarkable job of keeping proceedings on time while the band, Triplescore, had people grooving on the dance floor well into the night.
As part of the circus theme guests were supplied with toffee apples, fairy floss and more importantly, a red foam clown’s nose. The red noses were purchased through Sids & Kids South Australia to support their red nose day on Friday June 27. Hyatt staff and guests got into the spirit of the occasion sporting red noses throughout the night.
The Foundation would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all those who attended the evening, particularly to their supporters ACER, Alpine Constructions, AMCOR Glass, Datacom and National Australia Bank.
The generous support of the College Community enabled the Foundation to raise $18,000. These funds go directly towards Scholarships, Awards of Excellence and Citizenship Awards which provide wonderful opportunities to our students. |
