The
Museum
of
Contemporary Art
is arguably the premier venue for New Year’s Eve celebrations in
Sydney
, offered a touch of class to what can be a chaotic night. This year, it also enabled guests to start the New Year off on a charitable note with profits going to Radiomarathon, a charity for children with special needs.
The North Terrace of the MCA offers an atmosphere like no other, in full view of the
Harbour
Bridge
, while across the harbour it sits at eye level with the Opera House. Perched high above Circular Quay there is no doubt about the exclusivity of the venue, while you are still close enough to hear and feel the buzz of the thousands of people below. The experience is topped off by the thundering fireworks which fill your entire field if vision.
The event was organised by Mr Bill Kritharas and friends Jenny Manetas and Leon Bombotas, who booked the venue over a year ago. “We’ve had NYE on the South Terrace of the MCA two years ago and it was an excellent night, the North Terrace is even better. It’s a great way to be together with close friends and their friends, as well as ensure you’re not looking for somewhere to go as NYE approaches. It was never intended as a profit making exercise and committing the profit to Radiomarathon was an easy decision, given their very valuable work. Commented Mr Kritharas.
The Chairman of Radiomarathon
Australia
, Mr Michalis Athanasiou, thanked the organisers of the event for their support. “Events like this one are very important for Radiomarathon’s ongoing growth. Organised under the banner of Radiomarathon, these events expose this worthy cause to young professionals and their friends, helping in expanding the Radiomarathon community” Mr Athanasiou said.
Radiomarathon 2007 finished its 11th year of fundraising in
Australia
with a fantastic night at the
Museum
of
Contemporary Arts
in
Sydney
. The $5000 raised the total for 2007 to over $355,000 in
Australia
and incredibly over $6 million worldwide! Radiomarathon will support over 20 organisations in 2008 helping them continue their efforts in caring for hundreds of kids in
Australia
