The Royal Oak Hotel Double Bay & Lavinia White present Cocktails for a Cause, raising funds for the Charlie Teo foundation.

Join special guest Professor Charlie Teo AM and others, plus live and silent auctions through out the night for money can't buy experences.

All ticket sale proceeds and 50% of bar sales will go directly to funding research, via the Charlie Teo Foundation. The Charlie Teo Foundation was formed to fund promising and innovative research, efficiently and more transparently. Your money will go directly to where it is truly needed – on finding a cure for brain cancer.

Brain cancer is indiscriminate. It strikes a person down in the prime of their life, usually with no warning signs and no risk factors. These are the harsh statistics:

• Brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other disease and more people under 40 than any other cancer.
• Brain cancer receives less than 5% of federal government cancer research funding.
• Brain cancer costs more per patient than any other cancer because it is highly debilitating, affects people in their prime and often means family members cannot work if they become carers.
• Relative five-year survival rates for brain cancer have hardly changed for 30 years, increasing less than 2% between the periods of 1982-1987 and 2007-2011.
