2002 Events
Thank you to everyone who has put time, effort and money in organising a fundraising event for War Child Australia

Big Night Out

War Child Australia was registered in July 2002. Our first challenge was to launch Big Night Out, the latest in the series of Girls' Night In anthologies whose royalties have raised millions of dollars for War Child projects around the world.

At the same time, we were excited to announce that Melbourne woman Joanna Francis was War Child Australia's first field worker, leaving for Herat, Afghanistan in November 2002.

Given that we really hit the ground running, it's no wonder the Big Night Out launch events around the country went off with a blast! These pictures were taken at the Melbourne launch at the Rose and Crown hotel in South Melbourne.
