The 2009 WOW Brisbane Broncos Banquet Auction, proudly presented by WOW Sight and Sound,
will be held on Friday, 31^st July 2009 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, and with
your support this event will be bigger and better than ever before!!
 
BIWCC Members and Inner West Businesses are urged to donate to the Banquet Auction.
Support enabled us to raise over $75,000.00 last year, and we are hoping to raise even
more this year for some very worthwhile causes.

The night provides you with an opportunity to promote your business and be involved in a unique
event that will help fund grassroots Rugby League in Queensland, as well as providing support to
the Broncos Charities Fund - which has raised over $600,000 since its inception - in providing
encouragement, assistance and financial support for the underprivileged and disadvantaged
youth of Queensland.

Your attendance at this fantastic event would also be greatly appreciated and tickets for the
Auction are now available at $120.00 each or $1,200.00 per table, which includes a 3-course
meal, beer, wine and soft drinks.  Should you wish to attend this event, simply complete the
invitation included with this letter.
 
We hope you can support us at this event and should you have any queries, contact
Jason Greenhalgh at the Broncos on 3858 9111 or jasong@broncos.com.au
