2015 NAIDOC

Masquerade Ball & Awards

On Friday 10 July, the community came together to celebrate and have a good time at the first NAIDOC Ball in Wagga Wagga! Everyone had a great time with the Masquerade theme with nearly everyone donning a mask for the night and partaking in the photo booth creating memories for years to come! Benny Walker and The Mighty Yak provided the entertainment while the crowd definitely provided the laughs and the good times! Many thanks to our generous sponsors and the people who dug deep to donate and purchase items in the silent auctions to raise funds for future NAIDOC events!

In the lead up to the event nominations were called for from the community for the first (in a long time) NAIDOC Awards celebrating various categories in our region. The successful nominees were:

Lifetime Achievement Award: Aunty Kath Withers

Caring for Country Award: Ethan Williams

Community Person of the Year Award: Mary Atkinson

Young Person of the Year Award: Ashleigh Pengelly

Sportsperson of the Year Award: Steven O'Neill
