Leading local business woman Patricia Ilhan will head an enlightening lunch to launch the 2017 Sandringham Hospital Appeal.
On Wednesday March 15, the bayside community will come together for A Lunch by the Bay, featuring Chair and Founder of the Australian Food Allergy Foundation, Patricia Ilhan, and hosted by Janet Spooner DGSJ OAM.
Patricia is a strong campaigner for food allergy research and funded the development of a world-first peanut allergy vaccine, currently under development at The Alfred. As a Brighton local and mum of four, Patricia is no stranger to the importance of quality community care - which she will speak about on the day.
Guests will enjoy live entertainment, raffles, a live auction and more.
All proceeds raised from the event will benefit the Sandringham Hospital Appeal, which has a $2.5 million target to build a new day procedure centre for the local community. Current the fundraising tally has reached more than $1 million.
