Gala and masquerades for Burrowa House

Locals are being urged to get in early to secure their tickets to the highly anticipated Burrowa House Gala and Masquerade Cocktail Party coming up on February 15.

The committee has a fun filled evening planned for those in attendance with plenty of amazing items being auctioned with all money raised going back to Burrowa House and to supporting the residents of the facility.

"As we reflect on the heart of our community, one institution stands out for its unwavering dedication and care - Burrowa House aged care facility," the committee said.

"For 30 remarkable years, this facility has provided a professional, warm and lovely care, making this facility more like a home for all our aged, loved ones, ensuring they receive the dignity, respect and support they deserve.

"However, as with many regional aged care facilities, Burrowa House faces unique challenges in maintaining its viability.

"This is where our community's support becomes crucial."

The upcoming event is a way that locals are able to support the facility that looks after and cares for the residents who are so well loved and have given so much to make the community what it is today.

"The Burrowa House fundraising committee is organising a spectacular Masquerade Gala Cocktail event on February 15, 2025, just in time for Valentine's Day," the committee said.

"This promises to be an unforgettable evening, featuring an exciting auction with exclusive items, a live band to keep you dancing, delectable canapes and an exquisite selection of wine and champagne.

"By attending this gala event, you'll not only be treating yourself to a fantastic night out, but you'll also be contributing to the vital work of Burrowa House, who has helped make the residents from Boorowa and surrounding towns over the many years, feel as though they are at home.
