Dockside, Cockle Bay Wharf was the scenic venue for this year's Sri Lanka Association NSW Winter Ball, "A Night of Compassion” a glamorous and hugely successful event, which raised over $10,000 for Foodbank.
Foodbank, Australia's largest hunger relief organisation, sources and distributes surplus food and meals to front line charities, school breakfast clubs and community groups across Australia, helping disadvantaged families and children in need.
First established in 1992 in NSW, it now has a presence in every state with distribution centres in capital cities and regional Australia.
Thanks to the Sri Lankan Association of NSW president,Sam Masachchi, the tireless and hardworking SLANSW Committee, speakers, our M.C. Duke Ramachandran, attendees and everyone who contributed to this very worth cause. It was certainly a night to remember and we strive to continue reaching out to communities in need and helping those less fortunate to the best of our ability.
-Nick Perera, SLANSW
