On Wednesday 17 September we celebrated our third annual White Tie Dinner fundraising event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney.


We were delighted to welcome Prime Minister Kevin Rudd who delivered the keynote address and also presented our 2008 White Ribbon Ambassador Award to Mark Burgess.



Guests were also entertained by with our legendary Great Debate, where White Ribbon Ambassadors contested whether Canberra needs more comedians! The debate saw Joe Hockey and Wil Anderson take on Tony Burke and Adam Spencer...outrageous comedy ensued!!!



It was a spectacular evening and successful fundraising event and we thank everyone who attended and a very special thank you to all the sponsors who supported the event.
