What a heartfelt, spectacular, sensational night we had at the 22nd Blue Ribbon Ball! What a privilege to join with everyone in our moment of remembrance and our moment of celebration. What an honour to be joined by everyone from The Governor, The Commissioner, and The Minister; the NSW Police Officers showing their support; our Corporate Supporters; our Community Supporters; and perhaps most importantly of all, our Police Legatees!
Huge thanks to Phil Burton and the NSW Police Band for filling & thrilling the dance floor, and to absolutely everybody who came along and dug deep to help support our Police Family. Enormous thanks to Police Legatee Kylie Chell who bared her soul and helped everyone to understand what it means to be a Police Legatee. Kudos to our dedicated volunteers who kept it all running smoothly (including Ashley, the hardest working work-experience kid in the known universe).
Thank you to our Charity Partners Police Bank and the Police Association of NSW, without whom we would be lost, to Hyundai for yet again coming to the party with a car for us to raffle, and to all the evening’s corporate supporters: Brydens, Makinson D'Apice, Hicksons, EML, McCabes, Wotton & Kearney, Motorola Solutions, AHA (NSW), Hexagon, Dimeo, Linfox Armaguard, Maddocks, TAL, Norton Rose Fulbright, and Cellebrite.
And finally, a gigantic round of applause to this year’s MC, Police Legatee Soraya Calavassy, who carried the evening with professional poise, flair, and emotional intelligence. A truly beautiful night.
