Jacaranda Party for Fred Hollows Foundation

The Jacaranda tree thrives in Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe and is a symbol of the bonds between the three countries. We celebrated those bonds at the Greengate Hotel, Killara on July 24^th 2010 at the inaugural Jacaranda Party to raise funds for Fred Hollows Foundation.

The Australia-South Africa Rugby Test was viewed. A raffle and silent auction raised over $ 2500, enough to cure blindness in 100 people.
