JAPAN FUNDRAISING BENEFIT AT P M 24
Last night Philippe Mouchel, our partner at P M 24, and I hosted a fundraising benefit at P M 24 to raise funds for the Red Cross Japan and Pacific Disaster Appeal, and we were lost for words at the generous support that came from our guests and sponsors.
The stand out item from the live auction conducted by Simon Shrimpton of Jellis Craig was the dinner for ten hosted by Philippe Mouchel, George Calombaris, Shane Delia, Joe Grbac, Vasilios Donoudis, and Travis McAuley which sold twice over, raising $28,500.
The other live auction items were:
- A behind the scenes tour of the Melbourne Zoo, including the chance to wash Bong Su the Elephant; donated by Zoo’s Victoria;
- Five nights accommodation in Marlborough NZ, donated by Carol Rothschild; and
- Four laps in either a Ferrari 458 Italia or Lamborghini LP640 Murceilgo with John Bowe, donated by John Bowe and Joe Calleja.
In the end we raised a total of $55,110, which is incredible!
We couldn't have done this without the support from our chefs, front of house staff and all the sponsors who came on board to donate food and beverages and auction items.
All in all it was a great night!
