Sydney, October 17, 2024
The Jenny Souris Foundation (JSF) held its annual Gala Event, successfully raising the $100,000 needed for young Jack’s critical treatment for Neuroblastoma in New York. The Gala, attended by over 300 guests from various industries and backgrounds, underscored the power of the community in supporting vital causes.
The evening was characterised by great entertainment and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Guests enjoyed an exciting auction, headlined by highly sought-after sports memorabilia: a Cristiano Ronaldo signed, framed Manchester United shirt; a Giannis Antetokounmpo signed and framed Milwaukee Bucks singlet; and a hand-signed, framed Lionel Messi shirt. Adding elegance, a stunning Kailis Pearl Necklace, graciously donated for the event, joined these prestigious items.
For the second consecutive year, the auction lineup featured a brand-new MG3, offering a thrilling prize. Nancy, the delighted winner, added a joyful highlight to the memorable evening. A surprise performance by the Undercover Waiters captivated the audience, boosting the evening’s energy and excitement.
