The 14th Annual Mum’s Mail ‘Jungle Fever’ High Tea in association with The Sunflower Fund was held on Friday 6 September at The Globe at Suncoast. This was the first time the event was held at this venue and it was a great hit. The dress code was ‘Jungle/Animal Print’ and the guests really had fun with this theme – the outfits were amazing, and there were prizes for the Top 3 Best Dressed Ladies plus a prize for the Best Dressed Table of 10!
This exclusive event aims to raise funds for The Sunflower Fund to help them create awareness and education about blood stem cell donation, as well as to recruit more blood stem cell donors.
Guests enjoyed an extensive entertainment line-up with the likes of ECR’s Darren Maule as MC and Jane Linley-Thomas and Paul Bushell of KindessCan as guest speakers, along with Peach Piche who gave a moving motivational message to the 500+ ladies in attendance. Comedian Jem Atkins was also there to lighten the mood and get the guests laughing.
There were amazing treats for all the guests, including an exclusive gift courtesy of B.O.N Natural Oils. A scrumptious breakfast was served by Eat Greek Caterers which included a delicious slice of Chateau Gateaux’s Vanilla Dream cake for each guest (very indulgent)! Besides the guest speakers, there were dancers to entertain guests, a free cappuccino and a glass of champagne for each lady, a pampering station, lots of shopping, a fun photo booth and of course a super goodie bag packed with treats.
The pop-up shops were a huge success, with an amazing range of top-class products for guests to browse and buy. As always the ever-popular surprise envelopes and raffle prizes were a hit, and the winning ladies walked away with some superb prizes.
A big thank you to the main sponsors Suncoast Casino, Baby City, B.O.N Natural Oils, Chateau Gateaux, Leventus Events, Black Coffee, Plan Ahead Events & Décor, Cheers Hiring, Ciro Coffee Boutique and Oakleigh Funeral Home.
