webqem have long been supporters of the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation, and several staff attended the 2009 Pink Ribbon Ball on Saturday 26th September in the ballroom of the Westin Hotel, Sydney.

The theme was black tie with a touch of crystal, and the event was MC’d by Charlotte Dawson, with entertainment from comedian Julia Morris, Diesel, dancers from The Australian Ballet and the dance band Suite Az.

Aragon was the raffle winner of $1000 worth of Jimmy Choo shoes, and was swamped by female admirers soon after. Chris and Les had the winning auction bid for the Marrakesh Date Night.

Luckily there is no footage available of the moves on the dance floor, but the following photos show a great time was had by all.

Only July 11th, the staff at webqem attended the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation Rugby Long Lunch along with a sold out crowd of over 700 others from companies supporting the cause.

It was a fantastic event held at the Hilton Sydney raising approximately $250,000 for breast cancer research. Highlights of the day included a moving account of Antony Shaw’s 245 KM Marathon des Sables run, a Q & A with Wallaby’s coach Robbie Deans and former Wallaby’s player Phil Kearns, and the chance to win an A3 Audi – lucky winner Robert Lattuca took away the grand prize.

Guests were treated to a three-course meal, champagne, and a plethora of items to bid on, all in the name of charity. Three of our very own webqem staff took home prizes from the business card draw and auction items. It was a moving and memorable event held in the name of an extraordinary cause.
