Tip 1: Acquire a coach. I couldn’t do without one!
I needed all the help and support I could get when I started so I secured the services of Phil de Fégely. He’s an expert and has coached a couple of past winners. He really is first class at what he does.

Phil, you must take a great deal of the credit for all the compliments we have received. The auction made more than reserve on every item and I have heard nothing but praise for you ‘expertise’. Everyone at the function has said that the Gala was the ‘best yet’ and are already looking forward to next year.

Susan Alberti Foundation Ball huge success!
Sunday, 5 August 2012
Last night at Crown Palladium, The Susan Alberti Medical Research Foundation raised in excess of $450,000 at their annual fundraising ball. A magnificent event, hosted by Craig Willis and Deborah Hutton was a night of glamour and high entertainment. The fundraising consisted of a pledge, raffle, silent and live auction.
The money raised will support the wonderful work in medical research by the foundation and to find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes.
Congratulations to Susan Alberti and her wonderful team on a hugely successful event.
