Virgin Airlines Charity Hangar Ball

We have some wonderful news regarding the Montessori Children's Foundation (MCF). It has been designated as one of the five charities being supported by the first ever Virgin Airlines Charity Hangar Ball. Sir Richard Branson is coming out to Australia himself to host the event - it will be huge - see the following announcement from Virgin.

"Virgin Blue is gearing up to host its first ever Charity Hangar Ball on August 5 in Brisbane for 3000 Guests, with people flying in from all over Australia and New Zealand for the event. Montessori Children's Foundation is one of the five beneficiaries of the Ball.

Co-hosted by Richard Branson, The Hon Peter Beattie [Premier of Queensland] and Virgin Blue CEO, Brett Godfrey, and MC'd by the lovely Catrionna Rowntree, this is the first time Virgin Blue has ever held a public party and done a charity event of this scale. Human Nature is the headline band and will be playing a mini-concert.
