The event which raises funds for the National Cancer Foundation will be held at the Crookwell Golf Club.
Crookwell local, Sallie Zilko will host the event for the third time.
The night’s proceedings will kick off with a glass of wine and a two course dinner.
Ms Zilko has experienced the devastation of breast cancer first-hand and is devoted to raising money to help find a cure.
“My grandmother and mother both passed away from breast cancer and I’ve had friends at a young age who have had it,” she said.
Last year, the night raised over $5300 for breast cancer research.
The year before it raised $2800.
This year, Ms Zilko hopes to crack $5000 again.
There are already over 100 ladies set to attend the event.
It is a night of fun, but it’s also a chance to educate women in our community on breast cancer.
All the while contributing to a solution which may save someone close by.
“One in eight of us is going to have breast cancer so we have to find a way to get a vaccine or something.
“We’re not going to do that if we don’t have the research, which costs money.”
Guests can expect a guest speaker, chocolate wheels, games, sweets and everyone is invited to bring something along to donate.
“It’s a great night you get to have fun with some girls, donate some money, and most people get to go home with prizes.”
