Lifestart Cumberland Prospect Cocktails in July a success

July 11th, 2008

The night of Saturday, 5 July saw 150 guests celebrating Christmas in July in the Westpac corporate offices in Kent Street. With a magnificent view over the lights of Darling Harbour and fine catering courtesy of Westpac Corporate Catering, guests opened their hearts to raise over $70,000 for Lifestart. Guests picked up some bargains from the wonderful array of items on offer and MC Vic Lorusso once again demonstrated his top-class auctioneering skills.

So many people contributed to the success of the evening, but special mention must be made of Karen Titterton who headed the organizing committee and the generous major sponsor Hillross Financial Services. Mention must also be made of Jason Kerr, Naomi Jones, Wine Brothers, Enhanced Entertainment, Divine Events, Harasty’s and all the Lifestart mums and dads, relatives, friends and staff who supported the evening.
