Thanks to our loyal sponsors and guests, over the past 6 years we have raised over 75,000 Australian dollars! We hope to build off the immense success of our previous Rio Charity Balls. Funds raised from these events have been responsibly reinvested back into the Philippines through a variety of charity projects that we supervise ourselves, such as:

• Over 700 free surgeries performed and offered to the community in the remote region of Tawi Tawi
• $8,000 towards the construction of a new classroom for the Mindanaw Tribal School in Maramag
• Over $5,000 for M'lang Cotabato surgical missions for cleft lip palate, hernia, goiter and various minor surgeries
• $2,000 towards the St Theresa orphanage and St Theresa home of the elderly, sick and abandoned
• $1,000 donation to the students of Davao School for the Blind and several Mindanao orphanages
• We also support a $2,500 yearly free cataract operation mission donated to Rotary Club of South Davao to over 90 patients
• $1,500 for the Mother's Day and X-mas celebration for the Lions Village Elderly in West Footscray
• $500 to the Tawi Tawi Typhoon victims for relief goods
• $6000 to fund a 1-week long medical mission in the Caraga region for over 56 cleft lip and palate operations in Butuan and screened over 100 patients.
