LINK YOUR BRAND TO THE FUTURE OF FOODTHE EVENT

Australia’s launch of the International Year of Pulses will take place at the not to be missed Black Tie Gala Dinner at the Museum of Melbourne on 28 January 2016.

The Gala Dinner will launch the Australian chapter of IYP activities and a fund raising auction will provide funds to support the planned IYP program of events during 2016.

The dinner will be a celebration of the UN announcement of 2016 as the Year of Pulses and a springboard for the Australian year of activity.

The gala dinner will be an opportunity for everyone across the supply chain to come together and experience the world of pulses.

This high profile dinner and fundraising auction will be the Australian launch, featuring celebrity chefs and politicians.

It will generate extensive media coverage, offering prime exposure to your brand. The event will also be filmed for Pulses on TV (our YouTube channel) and shared on social media

SUPPORT THE FUND RAISING AUCTION

All supporters of the auction will have their logo included with contribution listing in the auction catalogue and their company acknowledged during the auction

A key part of the Gala Dinner will be the fundraising auction (including both a live and silent auction), with all proceeds going directly to funding IYP activities.

In order that we can create an auction that is a little more exciting and diverse than the norm, we need your help and imagination via the donation of goods and services.

In order to differentiate our auction from the pack, we are keen include as many “money can’t buy’ items and opportunities as possible. Items such as dining, wine, holidays and travel opportunities will be much appreciated, as will artworks, film, live theatre and musical performances. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the regions from where the crops are grown and processed.

As such, why not think about gifting a farm stay, local dining experience, food or wine tour, live concert – or a combination thereof?

Equally, we would welcome any personal luxury items (jewelry, fashion & beauty), electrical items, major sport event tickets and sporting memorabilia. What a great chance to recycle some of those signed cricket bats, football jumpers, boxing gloves and guitars bought at previous auctions!

Finally, given the focus on pulses, no auction would be complete without an offering of a cross section of raw and processed pulse commodities and products.

Please help us make this event memorable – and kick off the International Year of Pulses in a practical and enjoyable manner.
