Following its successful lunch last year to raise awareness and money toward the elimination of domestic violence, Peppers Noosa has this year gone one better with the Luke Batty Foundation Black Tie Gala Dinner on 23 September.
The Luke Batty Foundation was established in memory of Luke Batty who was tragically killed by his father at cricket practice on in 2014 in Tyabb, Victoria.
People in Australia were hugely affected by the manner in which Luke was killed and the response was so overwhelming it inspired Rosie to set up the foundation in Luke’s memory. Rosie aims to let people know that family violence happens to everybody.
“No matter how nice your house is, how intelligent you are. It happens to anyone and everyone,” she said.
Peppers Noosa is supporting the Luke Batty Foundation and has been overwhelmed with $50,000 in sponsorship for its fundraising event.
Event organiser Francesca Marren said a three-course dinner would be designed for the evening by Peppers head chef Andy Wilcox and celebrity chef and guest of honour Matt Golinski.
“There will be live entertainment by Hurricane, silent auctions and raffles and all proceeds will be going toward this wonderful cause,” she said.
Tickets are $100 per person and include bubbles on arrival, drinks package and raffles and auctions for prizes including three night’s accommodation at Peppers Seminyak and five night’s accommodation at Mantra Ala Moana, Hawaii.
