Full house, sumptuous meal, unlimited drinks, fun, entertainment, camaraderie and generosity were experienced at the Casa de Baile held on 13 September 2014 at the Grand Star Receptions in Altona. The fundraising was a success and around $800 cash donation was raised and donated to the Gawad Kalinga Feeding Program Philippines. The donation was received by Marisa Vedar, head of Gawad Kalinga Melbourne.

“The floor show uniting our Melbourne friends from East and West was so inspiring.  Love was in the air. We felt the crowd’s enthusiasm and happiness and it seemed everyone did not want the perfect night to end. Our sincerest thanks to our friends, sponsors and supporters,” says Roberto and Marie, the organisers of the event.
