Fundraising Ball 2006 - A Stunning Success

The inaugural Stillbirth Foundation Little Feet Taking Big Steps Ball was held last night in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel Sydney. By any measure it was a stunning success.

Website Launch

To coincide with the official launch of the Stillbirth Foundation, our website went live for the first time on the same day. Our website is a little spartan at the moment, but it will grow over time. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

The domain name was kindly donated by David and Carmel Shaw. The website, hosting and download capacity has been donated by shawware.com.au.

Foundation Launch

On Sunday October 23, 2005, the Stillbirth Foundation was officially launched over lunch at the picturesque Shores Restaurant, Mosman.

The diners were entertained by two excellent keynote speeches. The first from Professor Jonathan Morris outlined the research the foundation will help make possible and the objectives of the foundation.

Our second keynote speaker, Deb de Wilde, was greeted with a standing ovation, to recognise the outstanding support she had given to many at the lunch and the Order of Australia Medal she recently received.

Diners were also entertained with lucky door prizes, raffles and many silent auctions. These, along with the lunch ticket price, helped raise over $13,500.

The lunch finished with the release of balloons, each bearing the name of a child lost to stillbirth.
