Todd McKenney to host benefit night
Wed, 24 Sept 2003, 07:33 amTODD TO HOST BENEFIT NIGHT
Todd McKenney, the original star of "The Boy from Oz" as well as Cabaret" and "Singin' in the Rain" will host a benefit night for Emily Barker at the Waldorf Apartment Hotel on Mounts Bay Road, Perth on 21and 22 November, 2003.
On 31 March, 2003 Emily's mum Catherine was driving Emily to school when a semi-trailer collided with the family's Holden Barina at a Beechboro intersection. Catherine, died soon after the accident and the talented 11 year old suffered life-threatening injuries. Emily is still a patient at the Princess Margaret Hospital undergoing extensive treatment.
The tragedy and Emily's survival against the odds have touched hearts across Western Australia and many people have already been very generous in their support.
The benefit is to help Emily's ongoing medical treatment and the expected modifications to the family home when she returns from hospital.
On the night Todd will perform his two hour cabaret show, which is irrepressible, high on energy and decisively based on fun. He will sing, dance, tap, skate, tell stories about other performers and personal anecdotes about his own success.
Auctions will be held throughout the night.
The cost per person is $120.00 and includes a three course dinner, beer, wine, soft drink and show.
The evening commences at 7.00pm and concludes at midnight.
TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED BY PHONING: 08 9213 5333.
Todd is also the trustee for the Emily Barker Trust. If you are unable to attend on either night and would like to make a donation, please make your cheque payable to The Emily Barker Trust PO Box 7301 Cloister's Square, PERTH 6805.
It were possible for every person who receives this email (that could not attend the benefit night) to donate $20.00 to the Foundation, not only would it be greatly appreciated, but we would also see Emily home much sooner.
To ensure that we reach as many people as possible, please forward this email to all of your friends, family and colleagues. Thank you for your support.

To Whom it may concern,
Before tonight I was unaware of Emily and her story, however, after tuning into 'This is your life' this evening I learnt a story of courage, love and strength and would like somehow to help out. My contribution may only be small for now but I hope in the future to be able to help Emily and her father by ways of raising money.
I live in Brisbane and am unable to attend Todds Benefit, however, I will make a donation and would be very interested in learning more about your trust and how I could become involved from over here.
Emily lit up that stage tonight like a true perfomer, her smile was something to behold and her genuine love for Todd was truly beautiful. If only more peolple in the world had her optimism and love of life.
I'm not sure what role I could play, it may just be a monthly donation, but I would truly love to help make a difference in this beautiful little girls life. If there is any thing that I can do from over here please let me know and best of luck for your Benefit it sounds like it will be a wonderful evening.
Kindest Regards and please let Emily know that I'm blowing her a big kiss all the way from Queensland - she is just beautiful!
