For the life she loved.
Jacinda was thirty when cancer took her life. She had the loudest laugh in every room and never sat out a party, so we are throwing the night she would have thrown.
You do not need to have known her. Just come.
The posterPDF · 4.2 MB, opens in a new tabYour night includes
- Queen of Hearts, Jacinda’s signature cocktail, on arrival
- Prize-free charity poker tournament, heats to final table
- Live and silent auctions, mystery wine wall, and dancing on four levels
- Canapés from The Pillars kitchen
A standing cocktail night across four levels of The Pillars, from 6pm until late.
The poker is played for bragging rights and a place on the perpetual trophy, engraved with each winner’s name. Entry to play is by separate donation and is not included in the ticket price.
Where the money goes
Funds raised go to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, directed to Professor Kylie Gorringe’s research into mucinous ovarian cancer.
It is the rare cancer Jacinda faced, and it receives almost no dedicated funding.
Can’t make it?
Choose the Absent friends option on the booking page to give to the research without coming on the night.
