DID YOU KNOW ?

More than 24,000 Victorians are diagnosed with cancer each year.

Almost 10,000 Victorians die from the disease each year.

It is with great pleasure that the Board and Producers of Tuxedo Junction 2009
invite you a very special evening.

“Tuxedo Junction is the best fun you can have with your tuxedo on! “
Tuxedo Junction MC Matthew Parkinson (Comedy Slapdown, The Einstein Factor)

Tuxedo Junction 2009 – Get Happy is a fundraising ball held at the beautiful Plaza Ballroom at 191 Collins Street Melbourne. With an emphasis on first class food and entertainment including a live show featuring stars of the Australian musical theatre, Tuxedo Junction is simply a brilliant night out and opportunity to frock up and get on the dance floor.
The B# Big Band and Show Director Scott Hendry wowed audiences in 2008 and 2009 will be no different.

The beautiful intimate venue means nobody is left out of the fun; a high quality art auction, raffle, a main and silent auction all give our guests the opportunity to contribute to the Cancer Council Victoria whether it be $5 or $5000!

Come On And Get Happy – You Won’t Be Disappointed – That’s Our Promise!

What Our Guests Say..

“I just want to thank you again for inviting us to your Tuxedo Junction. It was the most fantastic evening and I am sure you felt great pride and exhilaration as the night went on. We went to another evening two weeks later which didn't even compare and a woman next to me (whom I didn't know) said that she heard there was a "great event two weeks ago called Tuxedo Junction"!!! So word is out that your event was THE EVENT to be at. “

Our theme reflects our commitment that no matter what else is going on in the world our commitment to those who are part of the cancer community will not waiver.
