Huge crowd at Blue Ribbon Gala Night

The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat Branch Gala Night of Nights attracted more than 280 people this year, the biggest crowd in recent years.

A highlight of the night was the presentation by the Branch of a cheque for $40,000 to EGHS Board Vice Chair Cam Evans, the second instalment towards the purchase of a new anaesthetic machine for the Jason Bond Perioperative Unit, valued at $114,000.

The main and silent auctions were well supported and patrons danced the night away to local musicians who had the dance floor full all night.

Raising funds for East Grampians Health Service and perpetuating the memory of police officers who have died in the line of duty, the Ararat Branch is a major partner and supporter of EGHS and we thank the Branch for its ongoing generosity and support. Funds raised at the Gala Night will be announced soon.
