On Saturday 20 June 2020 the Crown Perth Grand Ballroom would have been filled with a sell-out crowd of 700+ guests for the 17th annual Capel Vale Conquer Cystic Fibrosis Grand Ball.

The cancellation of the 2020 Grand Ball has been a huge blow for our volunteer-run charity which funds vital Cystic Fibrosis research projects.

Today we are appealing to those who had planned to attend our Grand Ball to donate!  This could be a portion of the $220 ticket price or what you may have spent attending the event.

We know that times are tough for many at the moment but we need your support to keep the funds flowing to the researchers.

We have committed to funding research with numerous organisations including the Telethon Kids Institute, Institute for Respiratory Health and the Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust (ACFRT) through Cystic Fibrosis Australia.

We are committed to ensuring this vital research can continue.

With your help we can Conquer Cystic Fibrosis…

This announcement will come as no surprise in light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, however it breaks our heart to have to make it.

The 2020 Capel Vale Conquer Cystic Fibrosis Grand Ball has been cancelled.

The health of our loved ones with Cystic Fibrosis and the wider community is paramount and wecannot put anyone at risk.

What this means is that at least $200,000 will not be raised for CF research in Australia this year. Everyone at CCF is absolutely devastated by this especially given how desperately it is needed.

Our Committee will be considering alternatives to try to raise these research funds, without holding a Ball. For example, we may still hold our online silent auction with the generous donations we have already received this year.

We are a team of passionate volunteers committed to extending the lives of the 3400 Australians living with Cystic Fibrosis through research. This will continue but there is no doubt we will take a big hit this year.

If you were planning to attend or support our grand ball in any way, we would love it if you could consider making a donation that will help ensure we can continue to meet some of our ongoing commitments to researchers.

Please stay safe and please take precautions in coming days, weeks and months to protect our most vulnerable.

We need to take care of each other through social distancing and hand hygiene to survive 2020 together.

Anyone interested in Bingo will love the Bingo events hosted each and every week by the Manwaring family and their team of incredible volunteers.

Bingo is held every Monday night at the Midland Sports Complex (Patterson Drive, Middle Swan) Wednesday evening at the Vasto Club (Vasto Place in Balcatta) and Friday nights at the Olympic Kingsway Sports Club (Bellerive Boulevard Madely).

High-rollers offering bigger cash prizes are held on the last Monday of each month at the Midland Sports Complex, the first Wednesday of each month at Vasto Club Balcatta and the last Friday of each month at the Olympic Kingsway Sports Club Landsdale.

All proceeds raised are donated to Conquer Cystic Fibrosis, to help fund the research required to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Doors open from 5.30pm at all centres, with ‘eyes down’ at 7.30pm sharp.  The evening concludes around 10.00pm.

Free tea and coffee is offered with snacks and cold drinks available at cheap prices.  There is ample secure, patrolled parking and wheelchair access available.

It is a great opportunity to meet new people and have a great night out.  You never know – you may even win the big cash prize!

These events are only possible because of the generosity of our amazing volunteers Peter and Lisa Manwaring, who have no family connection to CF, and have been supporting our charity for the last 6 years. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
