An estimated $15,000 was raised, with guests enjoying dinner, the music of Mighty Yak and bidding big for items in a charity auction.
Annette St Clair, whose daughter Amie died of melanoma at the age of 23, said Wagga couple Justin O’Reilly and his wife Natalie were the guest speakers. Mr O’Reilly spoke about his experiences with melanoma.
“He was amazing. You could have heard a pin drop. People were taking on board what he was saying,” Mrs St Clair said.
“It was also great to see a lot of new faces this year. It was a very successful night.
“People really got behind the masquerade theme. But next year is going to be even bigger and better.”
