The Curve-ball black tie fundraisin­g event is back again, bigger and better in 2018.

This year The Curve-ball will be held at the iconic Queens Park on Saturday, May 5, and will draw a crowd of more than 1500 attendees, donning gowns and tuxedos to support a worthy cause.

The inaugural Curve-ball was held in 2017 at Rumours Internatio­nal and held host to more than 700 attendees, raising $70,000 for that year’s chosen recipient and charity.

Each year the funds from this glamorous event will be distribute­d between a chosen charity and a local recipient who is deemed to have been thrown a life curve-ball.

Our 2018 Curve-ball recipient is 21-year-old local man Zach Nightingal­e, who was thrown a huge life curve-ball in December last year when a horrific motorbike accident left him fighting for his life.

Zach’s extensive injuries meant the loss of his right leg and part of his right pelvic bone and hip.

Zach has shown incredible resilience, having spent the past three months of his life in hospital with a long road to rehabilita­tion still ahead of him.

The Curve Ball committee is proud to announce that in addition to recipient Zach, the committee’s charity of choice for this year’s event is The Royal Flying Doctor’s Service, tying in perfectly with their 90-year celebratio­ns. In particular, the proceeds donated will go towards the RFDS’ efforts to bridge the gap in access to vital mental health services throughout rural communitie­s.

Your ticket to the 2018 Curve-ball includes a five-hour drinks package, canapes, entertainm­ent and a guaranteed fantastic night. CURVE BALL WHEN: SATURDAY, MAY 5 FROM: 5PM TO 10.30PM WHERE: QUEENS PARK COST: TICKETS ARE $140. EVENTBRITE.COM.AU
