The 19th Annual Red Ball – Le Bal du Rouge au Cirque
It was a night of thrills and excitement as the 19th annual Red Ball went to the circus. A vintage circus tent at Burnley Oval was the venue for Le Bal du Rouge au Cirque. The Big Top was transformed into a glittering 5 star arena.
The night was a great success with the support of our sponsors Foxtel, Paspaley, Channel 7, The Hour Glass and Lojac and our incomparable hosts, Deborra-lee Furness and Peter Mitchell.
Guests were extremely generous in their pledges and raffle ticket purchases and bidding in the live and silent auction was fierce as they tried to purchase their chosen items.
The Silver Circus troupe provided absolutely spectacular entertainment. The audience held their breath as three motorcycles whipped around within inches of each other in the Cage of Death.
Guests then danced the night away to the irresistible sounds of Discorama, the best dance band in town! It‘s no wonder the Red Ball is one of Melbourne’s premier “must attend” charity events.
The Foundation extends special thanks to the Red Ball committee for the months of preparation, and the volunteers who worked tirelessly prior, during and after the event. Their dedication and support are crucial to the success of the ball.
Many thanks to the brilliant team at Trumpet Events for creating another fantastic night to remember.
In 2012, the 20th annual Red Ball will be even bigger and better - an event you won’t want to miss. If you would like to be included on the Red Ball invitation list, please contact the Foundation on 03 9342 7888.
