'One Night in New York' SAMRT Annual Black Tie Dinner

One of the major fundraising activities of the SAMRT Trust is the Annual Black Tie Dinner. Through the generous support of corporate and the wider South Australian communities, this event raises a significant amount of money each year. It has made a name for itself through the city and has become one of the anticipated dinners of the year.

The 2008 One Night in New York Dinner was no exception raising more than $90,000 net for The South Australian Medical Research Trust, funding research into breast, prostate and other cancers conducted at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The dinner was a huge success with many of our sponsors and supporters believing it was the best one ever!

The outstanding amount raised was the result of hard work and planning by the events team and our outstanding volunteer SAMRT committee. They worked tirelessly to help make the night a great success.

AMP & MBA Financial Strategists were once again our naming sponsors for the evening. Their on-going support is greatly appreciated.

A major highlight of the night was the $100 a ticket raffle, which gave the opportunity for two lucky people to win a trip to New York and was valued at over $10,000. This was kindly donated by Malaysia Airlines and Venture Holidays. The lucky winner, Tiffany Young from Malvern, and was drawn by Mr Mark Borg from AMP.

Special thanks must go to our major sponsors Australian Construction Surveys, Channel 9, DMA Events, Finlaysons, Kendacraft Jewellery, McGrath Real Estate, Optus, Scott Salisbury Homes and SGIC.
