Remembrance Day Lunch 2022

On 4 November, Sydney Legacy hosted its annual Remembrance Day Lunch to celebrate one of the most significant Australian commemorations and a chance to reflect on Australia’s contribution to past and present conflicts.

The event was held at the stunning Doltone House, Hyde Park, which boasts uninterrupted views of Sydney’s iconic park, a space that creates a perfect ambience and is the ideal backdrop for a significant event such as this. 

The event was proudly sponsored by Defence Housing Australia, Doltone House and Robert Cliff Master Jewellers. 

A uniformed member of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) was seated at each table, and a number of Legacy beneficiaries and Legatees were also in attendance. 

Guests heard speeches from notable guest speaker Dr Brendan Nelson AO and Legacy beneficiary Michelle Carr and were treated to musical performances by 1940s-inspired, retro singing trio, The Pacific Belles. 

Former radio presenter and experienced MC Ron Wilson served as Master of Ceremonies for the event. 

There were a number of opportunities for guests to raise money for the families of our veterans, including through a live auction as well as a raffle – with one lucky winner taking home a $5,000 Robert Cliff Master Jewellers voucher. 

There was also a silent auction with prizes, including a signed NSW Waratahs jersey, a brewery tour for four people at 4 Pines Brewing Company and more. 

All proceeds raised at the Legacy Remembrance Day Lunch will provide essential social and financial support to the families that Legacy assists.

Sydney Legacy would like to thank Master of Ceremonies Ron Wilson, guest of honour Dr Brendan Nelson AO, guest speaker Michelle Carr, sponsors Defence Housing Australia, Robert Cliff Master Jewellers and Doltone House, organisations and individuals who have donated a prize towards the live and silent auctions and all guests who have attended.
