Masquerade! Paper faces and other stunning masks will be on parade next month in a unique fundraiser for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
A trio of ladies are calling on locals to suit up, frock up and don masks for the Venetian Masquerade Ball, which will transform Seasons 5 Resort in Point Cook into a Venetian carnival on Saturday, March 2.
Organisers Rita Parkinson, Barb Lawn and Jeanne Burbidge promise a fun night full of music, magic, auctions and raffles.
“A couple of us have had personal experiences [with the Royal Children’s Hospital] and that’s the motivation to support the hospital,” Ms Parkinson said.
“The children’s hospital is a world-class hospital, but it always needs more money to keep it at the cutting edge.”
Tickets cost $110 and include a three-course meal and beverages. To book, go to bit.ly/2UVbXrC
