Charity Event

  • Charity Event | 5 September 2014 | Girls Night In | Dee Why RSL

    According to the Cancer Council, the Northern Beaches Girls Night In is the biggest such event in Australia! DJ:Plus! Entertainment has been supporting this event every year since 2011and was very proud to support it again in 2014. It was a wonderful night full of varied entertainment, having a heap of fun and raising money for the Cancer Council, and in particular Women’s Cancers.

    The entertainment this year included Amber Lawrence, who has supported the event since 2012, Spirit Taekwondo – Brookvale, Northern Beaches Chorus and the showgirls from Xtend Barre. In addition there was an online raffle, games, pink envelopes and other fund raising activities.

    Lovely ladies from the Northern Beaches, THANK YOU for supporting this event, thank you for always getting into the spirit of the theme and looking so fabulous, thank you for having so much FUN!!, but most of all, thank you for your generosity. Not sure how much was raised as yet, but will endeavour to update this post once I know.

    Finally, a HUGE thank you to Kirsty and ALL her team of volunteers who work tirelessly to make this happen each year. The logistics of putting an event such as this on should not be underestimated and these ladies unselfishly give up their time to make it happen for the benefit of others.

    They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so I do not intend to write any more and let the photos and video below do the talking. If you enjoyed the evening and feel so inclined, please leave a comment or share this post. Enjoy!!

  • Charity Event | 13 September 2013 | Girls Night In | Dee Why RSL

    DJ:Plus! Entertainment is extremely proud to have supported the Northern Beaches Girls Night In for the third consecutive year. For those that are not aware this is a fund raising initiative to assist the Cancer Council with women’s cancer research, prevention, support programs and those affected by Cancer in general.

    This year the ladies gathered in the newly renovated Showroom of the Dee Why RSL, for a 1920’s Glam themed event. The ladies, who all looked absolutely fabulous, were entertained by Alfredo Malabello, Amber Lawrence and The Stage Artz Theatre Company amongst the Silent Auction, Heads & Tails Game, Raffles, Prizes and surprises.

    It was an amazing night and heaps of FUN, all for a great cause. I am not going to go on, except to say that these ladies are fantastic! They know how to party and enjoy themselves, yet be extremely generous at the same time. The total amount raised is still being finalised, but I will be sure to update this post once the figure is available.

    I hope you enjoy the photographic and videographic summary of this fabulous Event from which the proceeds will help many Cancer sufferers. Please feel free to leave any comment should you feel inclined.

  • Charity Event | 26 October 2012 | Girls Night In | Dee Why RSL

    The Northern Beaches Girls Night started in a backyard in 2010 after a close friend of  Kirsty Gardener was diagnosed with breast cancer. Twenty people attended, raising about $1000. As everybody knows, a cancer diagnosis not only affects the individual, but also family members and friends and sadly, every year in Australia around 17,500 women are diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancer.

    Last year I was approached to see if I would be interested in providing support in the form of entertainment for this fund raising effort to assist the Cancer Council women’s cancer research, prevention, support programs and those affected by Cancer in general. I immediately offered my support and it was a great night raising $13,000 odd dollars. I was once again approached a few months ago and did not hesitate one nano second to once again provide support for this great cause.

    On Friday night in the largest room available at Dee Why RSL, the 2012 Northern Beaches Girls Night In was a sell out with 550 beautiful and generous ladies attending, to have fun, be pampered, be entertained, party and contribute to the fund raising effort…….and what a night it was, an acoustic performance from country music singer-songwriter Amber Lawrence, pampering activities, a photo booth, Bollywood dancers and yours truly the fund raising target was well and truly smashed…with in excess of $33,000 raised.

    Rather than writing about how great a night it was, I am going to quote some comments from the Northern Beaches Girls Night In Facebook page instead, but you need only look through the photographs and videos below to see that it was such a fantastic night.

    “We all had soooo much fun last night! And soooo much dancing, hahahaa – haven’t done that for a while! Thanks for organising this great event for a great cause, it was awesome.”

    “What a fantastic evening last night! I had so much fun especially the Bollywood Dancing! Thanks so much to Kirsty, Jen, Freya all the volunteers and the sponsors for making it such a terrific night. I can’t wait to hear how much money was raised!!”

    “All the ladies dancing Gangnam style, Bollywood, YMCA. Girls really know how to have fun. Thank for a fantastic night.”

    “Fantastic night…..sore feet from groovn’! Book me in for next year!! Hope you raised lots!”

    Big thanks to the organising team of Kirsty, Jen and Freya and also to Bree who played a big part on the evening with auctions etc. It was such a huge honour to be a part of  this evening and I am very pleased with the fund raising outcome! Northern Beaches Girls Night In  – ladies you truly Rock!!!
