BEACONHILLS College will bring a touch of Bollywood to Pakenham on Saturday 4 June and it’s all for a worthwhile cause.
The Glitz and Glamour Charity Ball will feature the Bollydazzlers to raise funds to help support two schools and a kindergarten in one of the poorest parts of Bangladesh – Bhola Island.
The college has long supported charity organisation CO-ID in its vital work in the region, building schools and kindergartens.
Held at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, the ball will feature a dinner show with pre-dinner jazz and a seven-piece band Paint the Town Red performing pop, funk/soul, rock and Motown music.
Organiser Fonu Emberson said Beaconhills’ inaugural charity ball held at the same venue last year was also a big fundraising success.
“Our 2015 ball was attended by 200 guests, raising more than $7000 for children’s education and community initiatives in Timor-Leste,” she said.
“We hope to achieve an even stronger result this year.”
Tickets are $110 each or $1100 per table of 10, including GST, with a three-course meal, wine, beer and soft-drinks, entertainment, silent and live auctions.

The college is also looking for local business sponsors who would like to promote their trade or service. For tickets to event, or for details on sponsorship, go to the Beaconhills College shop on the school’s website.
