Christ Church Cathedral Grafton is celebrating its 14oth anniversary with a Gala Dinner to commemorate this significant milestone with the community. The event will be held on the evening of Friday, November 29 at Grafton Cathedral, and we hope that you can be a part of this special evening.

The 14oth Anniversary Gala Dinner is an opportunity for us to commemorate this milestone and celebrate the rich history and bright future of Grafton Cathedral. This will also be an evening of fundraising for the maintenance of our heritage buildings and our ministry activities.

Grafton Cathedral will be transformed into a beautiful venue for our formal three course dinner. The evening will commence with hors d’oeuvres and sparkling wine on the beautiful Cathedral grounds, followed by guests being seated for dinner in the grand setting of the Cathedral nave accompanied by the music of Clarence Valley Conservatorium String Quartet. A highlight of this event will be the attendance of past beloved Grafton Deans, including Dean Peter Catt and Bishop Richard Hurford, who will share anecdotes from their time in service.

We are seeking sponsorship (in connection with the Gala Dinner) in three main ways:

1. Auction Donations: We invite you to consider donating goods or services that will be auctioned during the Gala. This is an excellent opportunity for your business to gain exposure while contributing to a wonderful cause.
2. Gold Sponsorship: For those wishing to make a more significant impact, we offer a Gold Sponsorship option. This entails a financial contribution to cover key aspects of the event, such as music, welcome drinks, decorations, and more. As a Gold Sponsor, your business will receive prominent recognition at the event, in our promotional materials, and on our website, showcasing your commitment to supporting our community.
3. Table Bookings: We encourage you to invite your employees, friends, family, and networks to join us for this special occasion. Whole tables can be booked, allowing you to enjoy the evening together as a team. Tickets can be booked here: https://events.humanitix.com/grafton-cathedral-140th-anniversary-formal-dinner

We are proud to have reached this milestone, and it would not have been possible without the support of the local community.

I hope to see you at the 140th Anniversary Gala Dinner.

The Very Rev Naomi Cooke
