Gala Ball Galore in 2020 Joke Of The Week Afford Trivia

February 7, 2020 Issue 243 Week 32 CARING ABOUT OUR STAFF

This event remains the only event of its kind in the disability sector that is staged purely as an opportunity for people with disability to celebrate in style, with their family, carers and friends. This year we are excited to give that opportunity to our interstate clients and their families, to be able to enjoy the special night. Each Afford Gala Ball has its own unique theme and this year Queensland attendees will experience a magical night in an Enchanted Garden, while our Victorian attendees pull their best celebrity pose as they strut down the red carpet for their Hollywood themed night. Over 260 clients and their guests have accepted their VIP invitation to the QLD event of the year, which is happening on Friday the 28th February at the Brisbane Convention Centre. Victorian Gala Ball VIPs will receive invitations in the next week, with the Ball scheduled for the 17th April at The Vogue Ballroom in Burwood East. Later in the year the NSW Afford Gala Ball VIPs will be magically transported into an exotic Arabian Night theme at the Waterview in Bicentennial Park, Homebush on the 15th August. There have been many spectacular themes over the past few years, which have wowed our clients and guests. From our very first Gala Ball theme, ‘Over the Rainbow’ full of colour and dreams to a night of magic at the ‘Circus’ in 2017, guest have been transported into another world. Two of the favourite themes saw guests hopping down the rabbit hole to find ‘Afford in Wonderland’ and diving beneath the ocean to ‘Afford Under the Sea’. All attendees are encouraged to dress formally, and if you would like to dress in the theme – go for it! Supporting inclusiveness and opportunities for people of all abilities is something we are very passionate about at Afford and we look forward to sharing some talented performances with you all and dancing the night away. If you have any questions regarding the Afford Gala Ball in your state, please email Cristina Alvarez in Afford Events – cristina.alvarez@afford.com.au The Afford Gala Ball is a highly anticipated and glamourous client event that has been held in our home state of NSW for the past four years.
