San Foundation's Annual Luncheon was held at the Miramare Gardens in Terrey Hills on Friday, 25th November 2016.

Some notable figures amongst the 500 guests were The Hon. Tony Abbott, MP and Former Prime Minister; Mr Dick Warburton – San Foundation Board Member & Co-Chairman Capital Campaign; Dr Leon Clark – Chairman, San Foundation; Mr Branimir Schubert – Director of Mission & Culture, Sydney Adventist Hospital; Mrs Barbara Ward – Managing Director San Foundation; and Mr Philip Currie – CEO, Adventist Healthcare Limited.

The Hon. Tony Abbot spoke passionately about the San, its care and the service it has provided to him personally and to his family.

Barbara Ward delivered her presentation highlighting the success of 2016 and made a particular mention of the San Integrated Cancer Centre (ICC) whereby she has secured $20m. "This of course would not be possible without the generosity of our supporters" said Barbara. Further more, Barbara added "I would like to thank a special donor who enabled me to achieve our goal with a single donation of $7.5m – I am forever indebted to him and his extraordinary generosity."

The luncheon gave the San Foundation the opportunity to say thank you to the individuals who have provided support and dedication to the Foundation over the last 12 months. Thank you for your generosity, your contributions to our work, and your time.
