                                                                         LILLE FRO | GALA EVENT
 
Nearly 300 warm-hearted guests attended Lille Fro’s first ever fundraising event held in Melbourne on Thursday 13 September. 

The Alto Event Space above the GPO in the city was the most incredible venue and looked sensational, hung with amazing photos of Ladakh and filled with giving trees and vases of flowers. Hosted by Brendan Moar and with video messages from Lille Fro Ambassdor Kate Cerberano and some of the sponsor children, the event raised around $35,000 with a car still to raffle. 

Further, we found sponsors for another 12 children, bringing the number of children supported through our child sponsorship program to nearly 100. More importantly, it was an opportunity for us to share the Lille Fro story and for one night, take our friends in Melbourne on a journey to some of the remotest corners of the Himalayas through our wonderful photo exhibition. 
  
The funds raised are significant in terms of our ability to keep doing what we are doing and to take the next steps needed to grow as an organisation.  It will greatly assist our operations in Australia, supporting our Lille Fro projects aimed at improving the everyday lives for families in remote regions in Ladakh, India. 

We are very grateful to all our sponsors and supporters for their kind generosity and giving spirit.
