Had a ball at Bounce of the Ball!

Thank you to all those that attended the 2018 Bounce of the Ball Luncheon. 

Attendees walked the red carpet into the beautiful members dining room at the MCG, 48 hours before the first bounce of the season.

We heard from our Mums & Bubs worker Melissa Young, depicting what a week is like in the house, what programs are run and what is actually done to get these young mums standing on their own two feet again. 

We then heard from Jobe Watson, Kate Sheahan and of course our Ambassador Matthew Richardson in a panel discussion on all things football, the current state, and where things may be heading this year. 

Entertainment was aplenty as we enjoyed the musical duo Dean and Carruthers, and the premiership cup was there again, in its full glory. 

All whilst raising over $110,000 for Windermere's Mums & Bubs Program! So thank you again to all those that attended and to those that contributed. We can't wait to see you next year!
