Events Thank you to everyone who attended our amazing Enchanted Evening of Hot Winter Jazz on Saturday 28 June. Thank you also to all our sponsors and donors, in particular our major donor, Bankstown Sports. Keep watching this page for more information and photos of the event.

On Saturday 28 June, The Hon Chris Bowen MP, will be hosting an Enchanted Evening of Hot Winter Jazz to raise funds for children who struggle to learn and their families from Sydney’s west who attend Learning Links.

Over 900 children and families visit Learning Links' three locations at Fairfield, Miller and Prairiewood every week and we are struggling with overcrowding and waiting lists for specialist services.   The situation is especially bad at Fairfield where the same location that helped 52 children in 1999 is now trying to squeeze 250 children through the doors every week.   

Chris Bowen has once again kindly offered to host our 2008 event to build on the success of our evening last year. This year’s event, an Enchanted Evening of Hot Winter Jazz, will be held on Saturday 28 June at Club Marconi in Bossley Park. The evening will feature The Hon Wayne Swan MP, Treasurer, as guest speaker.  Nearly 500 people will be in attendance and it will be an exceptional night filled with amazing entertainment!

The cost is $160 per ticket ($110 cost, $50 donation).  Platinum, gold and silver sponsorships are also available, include pre-dinner drinks with Wayne Swan and the chance to join with community leaders to support such important work for local children and families.  We would love you to join us for the event and tables of 12 are available.  There are over 400 people who attended the 2007 event who can share with you what a magical night it was!

If you cannot attend, Learning Links is looking for donations for auction items and raffle prizes.  Anything, no matter how small, would be appreciated.  Things like excess stock or gift vouchers would be wonderful and give you the chance to have your business name featured as a supporter of the event.  We also have gift bags for the 500 people attending and donations are welcome.  (Learning Links is a charity and donations $2 and over are tax deductible.) 

Information on sponsorships can be viewed by clicking here.  Sponsors are featured prominently during the night and it is a good opportunity to position your business in the local community as caring and in touch.
