White Tie Dinner A Swearing Success!

The 5th Annual White Tie Gala Dinner, held last week at Sydney Town Hall, was once again a huge success!

At the dinner, we launched our new TV Commercial - calling on all Australian men to swear. 

Men at the dinner joined the My Oath campaign, by signing an oath - never to commit, excuse, or remain silent about violence against women.

Hosted by the White Ribbon Foundation Chairman, Andrew O’Keefe, the 5th White Tie Gala Dinner aims to raise awareness about violence against women, and to give our fantastic supporters an opportunity to showcase their support and commitment to changing attitudes toward violence against women.

The event also raises important funds to support the work of the White Ribbon Foundation, including a Silent Auction and a Raffle on the night.

Guests, including 2009 White Ribbon Ambassador of the Year Charlie King from ABC Grandstand Darwin, The Chaser’s Chris Taylor, ABC’s Steve Cannane and Brendan Maher, Director of Communications, Lifeline Australia were among the many high-profile White Ribbon Ambassadors who attended the dinner.
