Following on from the success of last year’s inaugural event, more than 400 people enjoyed an evening of high-class entertainment for a good cause.
Special guests included AFL legend Neale Daniher and his wife Jan, as well as broadcaster Hamish McLachlan, who was the emcee for the night.
It topped off a productive day for MND fundraising effort, with a successful Big Freeze held at Quadrant Mall in the morning.
There was plenty of opportunity for generousity at the ball, which featured both live and silent auctions, along with the opportunity to win a loose diamond.
Music for the evening was provided by Australian new wave legends Pseudo Echo.
Funds from the ball will go towards finding a cure for MND.
