HELP US to continue to present an arts and entertainment program each January that celebrates summer across Sydney, enriching the lives of the city’s residents and visitors. DONATE NOW Would like the opportunity to join a group of like-minded private donors who support our vision and enjoy a range of exclusive benefits?
