THE second annual Knitted Knockers Australia Traralgon Branch major fundraiser was a huge success.
Elvis, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Tom Jones and Austin Powers made special guest appearances, keeping more than 200 people entertained at the Italian Australian Club, Morwell.
It was great to be able to spread breast cancer treatment awareness to everyone in the room and see everyone laughing and smiling during the entertainment provided by the fabulous Mark Andrew and his son Jesse.
Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron, Latrobe City Council Deputy Mayor, Sharon Gibson, and Knitted Knockers Australia Chief Executive and founding member, Cheryl Webster were notable attendees.
Trent McCurdy from 3GG was emcee, Bill Kay was on sound, and Danica Di Ciero photographed the day. A big thank you to them for donating their time. An event like this takes many months of planning with many people involved.
Thank you to the wonderful committee: Lisa, Shenae, Debbie, Shell, Elaine, Rosie and Sue for everything you do and everything you did on the day.
Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket to the event and thank you to everyone who travelled the distance. Some came from Lakes Entrance, Mornington and Melbourne.
Thank you to everyone who donated prizes for the raffles on the day, and thank you to the Italian Australian Club for their support.
Knitted Knockers will be doing it all again next year, so make sure you lock in Sunday, October 5 2025 in your calendar.
