John Butler is pleased to have been asked to participate in the Burma Gala Dinner Appeal to be held at Hyatt Regency Perth and will perform solo for this very worthy cause.  The gala dinner on Friday 23 May will be the last performance of the year for John Butler in Australia.  An ensemble from West Australian Symphony Orchestra will also perform and one hundred percent of funds raised will go directly to World Vision’s Burma Appeal.

Tickets are $150 per person and can be purchased by phoning 9225 1209.  The event will kick off with pre-dinner drinks at 7pm, followed by a classic gourmet dinner menu and exclusive entertainment in Hyatt Regency Perth’s Grand Ballroom. 

The situation in Burma is dire in the wake of Cyclone Nargis and officials within the Burmese government have estimated that one in three of the dead are children.  World Vision has 583 staff based in Burma (Myanmar) and has been operating there for 30 years.  Due to World Vision’s long standing relationship with the government, they already have staff on the ground administering aid.  The funds raised will be used to provide safe drinking water, food, sanitation, shelter and healthcare. 

One hundred percent of tickets sales will go directly to World Vision’s Burma Appeal so please join us in supporting this worthy cause.
