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.
