The theme of the night was ‘fun’ and ‘laughter’ in the sporting arena, two key fundamentals of the CDP’s activities, and special guest comedian Andrew Startin had the crowd engaged with his interpretation’s of Richie Benaud, John ‘Sam’ Newman and Bruce McAvaney.
The club’s ‘Live the Dream’ participants were also special guests on the night and were introduced to the adoring crowd with rapturous applause with all the participants enjoying their opportunity to mingle with the players.
Hosts Em and Wippa from radio station 92.9 and auctioneer Darren McAullay combined superbly to inspire strong bidding for the featured main auction items that included a rare chance to venture out to sea with the Royal Australian Navy, a superb offshore fish/dive boat with thanks from Chivers Marine, a Mazda Neo supplied by Mazda WA, fantastic sporting memorabilia, as well as fine dining packages, a holiday thanks to Air Mauritius and exclusive entertainment packages.
While the main auction dominated the main stage, guests also spent hours browsing and checking their bids on the tender auction goods that included sensational home products from LG, framed Fremantle Football Club memorabilia, weekends away, wine and other enticing vouchers.
The evening was a huge success and the club would like to thank all our loyal sponsors and corporate partners for their terrific support of the event which will allow the CDP to continue to deliver key initiatives to the wider community. The club’s Community Development Programme is proudly supported by the Alinta.
