Events

A gala dinner was held in 2008 at the St Kilda Town Hall, at which then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd attended as Keynote Speaker. He spoke of Oaktree’s achievements, its exciting future, and the importance of its continued existence for young Australians.

In 2009, in light of the global financial crisis, a smaller cocktail party was held and featured an exclusive performance by the Zulu Connections Choir from South Africa.

The generous donations given by those in attendance at both events have contributed to the interim total of $550,000, of which we are hoping to build on substantially in 2010, with support from our Advisory Board towards our overall goal of $3 million.

In 2010 the Future Fund Team is pleased to announce their Gala Dinner will be held on 22 October 2010 at the National Gallery of Victoria with the patron of the Oaktree Foundation the Rt Hon Malcolm Fraser, former Prime Minister of Australia, giving the Welcome Address.
