Thanks to a small grant from Celebrate WA, The Centre for Cerebral Palsy (The Centre) hosted a Cocktail Hour to celebrate its involvement in WA Week on Monday October 19, 2009 from 4 – 5pm at the Sir David Brand Centre in Coolbinia.

“WA Week was re-launched by Celebrate WA to provide people from all regions and sectors with an opportunity to celebrate Western Australia’s unique history, heritage and development,” says Celebrate WA Chairman, Peter Fitzpatrick.

Special guests at The Centre’s Cocktail Party included Carole Crommelin Miss Australia 1965 and 47 entrants and finalists from the Miss Australia Quest, the Centre’s premier fundraising event which concluded in 1990.

Miss WA Charity Queen 1979, Kathy Fitzgerald, who has CP raised $26,000 for the Quest that year recalls, “The Quest was a lot of hard work but…I wanted to give back in time and energy to say thanks for the services I received from The Centre”.
