Stars unite to raise funds for young Australians with cancer
It's colloquially known as Sydney's longest lunch, but Sony Foundation Australia's annual Wharf4Ward is anything but a simple meal.
Australia's high-profilers flocked to Woolloomooloo Wharf on Thursday for an afternoon of food and entertainment – and an auction, which raised more than $1.5 million for the foundation's You Can Stay program.
Read on to see all the stars who united to support the foundation's You Can Stay program, which provides free, uncapped accommodation to regional youth cancer patients and their families who have to travel to the city to access lifesaving treatment.
