Ladies Luncheon 2025
The second annual Snowdome Ladies Luncheon was held on 27 February 2025. The luncheon provided a special opportunity for the treasured women of our Snowdome family to come together and celebrate the achievements of female researchers and clinicians.
Guest speaker, Associate Professor Melita Kenealy, a proud clinician and clinical researcher, was joined by Kylie Carter, a lymphoma patient, who shared her very personal journey with blood cancer.
Both A/Prof. Kenealy and Kylie reiterated the vital importance of research and clinical trials in improving outcomes for blood cancer patients. Had it not been for the clinical trials Kylie was able to access, her outcome may have been markedly different.
Snowdome Foundation extends our special thanks to all those who supported and attended the Ladies Luncheon.
Snowball 2024
On Thursday 10 October 2024, we held Snowball. In 2024, we invited guests to the “Snowball Cucina” to enjoy a delicious family dinner created by celebrated Chef Guy Grossi and the team from Cookes Food & Events.
The event raised an incredible $670,000! Our best result to date.
Snowball raises funds to positively impact the lives of blood cancer patients in Australia, helping them to live longer, better lives. The funds raised in 2024 will be directed to provide access to two, unsubsidised, life-saving drugs; for T cell and B cell lymphoma.
