LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER: DREAM BALL
LGFB’S DREAM BALL RAISES MORE THAN $320,000 FOR CANCER SUPPORT.
Cancer support charity Look Good Feel Better once again brought together almost 500 guests from the cosmetic and fragrance industries along with their partners in retailing, media, publishing, and supply to celebrate their annual Dream Ball.
Hosted by The Star, Sydney, the evening saw over $320,000 raised. This vital funding will allow 3,200 cancer patients across the country to access the Look Good Feel Better program over the coming year.
The charity’s Patron Kerri-Anne Kennerley took the stage as Master of Ceremonies, and Ambassadors Zoe Foster Blake, Eleanor Pendleton, and Ruchi Page joined as special guests for the evening. Look Good Feel Better participant Pam Clifford shared her own experience, and how grateful she is that the industry remains dedicated to supporting those undergoing cancer treatment through the program. Pam said; “Attending a workshop like this is something no-one forgets. The learning, the gifts of the Confidence Kits, the kindness, the comradeship and being able to talk to others going through a similar experience takes away some of the fear. The feeling of confidence when you walk away is unbelievable. My partner said the huge smile I brought home after the workshop that stayed on my face for the next few days was the best thing about the whole experience.
“My experience with Look Good Feel Better made a significant difference in my life so I would like to thank each and every one of you who kindly donates and supports the program. Please continue to give generously in support of those of us who need the emotional and mental gift for the soul that the program provides.”
Chair of the Cancer Patients Foundation Board, Rosi Fernandez, offered her own words of appreciation for the industry’s ongoing commitment to such an important cause. Rosi said, “I feel a tremendous sense of pride towards our industry and the collective efforts that we invest. Each of us plays a vital role in contributing to confidence. Through our products and our services, we empower people to feel their best and find their sense of self, each and every day.
“What fills me with even greater pride is that, as an industry, we come together when it matters most. We set aside market competitiveness to champion a crucial cause. Our unity provides products, manpower, and funds, ensuring those undergoing cancer treatment across the country regain their sense of self through the Look Good Feel Better program.”
Look Good Feel Better has supported over 180,000 Australians undergoing cancer treatment across the country since the program’s inception in 1990 and is the only charity uniting the cosmetic and fragrance industries and their partners to help Australians face cancer with confidence.
