PEARLS Charity Auction 19 October 2010

We held our second Charity Auction on the 19 October at the Mint in Sydney. It was a fabulous night with many fabulous donated auction items including artwork from leading Australian artists Peter Godwin, Euan McLeod, John Reid and Campbell Robertson- Swann. Raphael the Jeweller also donated some gorgeous south sea pearls and a special neckpiece. Alex Perry was a wonderful sponsor and Master of Ceremonies for the evening. We raised a fabulous $56,000 on the night which will support the research programs presently underway by the PEARLS scientists. Thanks again to all of our sponsors and donors as well as the attendees on the night who all contributed to make the event a huge success.

Our next event will be a very special event to mark PEARLS' 10 year anniversary. If you would like information about any of our events please contact us.

PEARLS also held its annual fundraising event at the Sydney Mint in 2009. It was a unique event focusing on an art auction co-ordinated by Defiance Galleries’ Campbell Robertson-Swann and Lauren Harvey, with auctioneer Georgia Pemberton of Sotheby’s. Our Patron, Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir, Governor of New South Wales attended and gave the keynote address. Once again Alex Perry was our MC for the evening.

The support for the evening was overwhelming and over $70,000 was raised.

Thank you to all of our sponsors who donated fabulous artwork and other items for our auction, and to everyone who attended.
