Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney

“This is the eleventh year Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney held the Gala Dinner. It is our major fundraising opportunity and a way to honour my beautiful daughter while giving back to the community who support us.” ~ Peter Tudehope.
Our very warmest thanks to the team at Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney for choosing to support Bowel Cancer Australia at this year’s annual charity fundraising Gala Dinner, held on the 20th September 2024.
The gala raised over $105,000 for Bowel Cancer Australia a cause deeply personal to the hotel’s General Manager, Peter Tudehope and his wife Tena. Their eldest daughter, Beth, tragically passed away from bowel cancer at the young age of 38 earlier this year. Mr. Tudehope made a heartfelt commitment to Beth to raise awareness and assist in preventing this disease from continuing to take any further young people’s lives.
All services for the evening, including food, wine, AV support, entertainment, room design and prizes, were generously donated by the hotel and its partners, ensuring that every dollar raised went directly to the charity. Notably, Beth’s best friend Justine Schofield one of Australia’s most recognisable culinary figures, collaborated with the team to create the evenings entrée, while celebrity Chef’s, Matteo Zamboni (Civico 47) and Aiden Stevens (The Bentley Group) worked their magic alongside the hotel’s team, all donating their skills and time to support the event.
The prestigious event was held in the Marble Room at Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney and was hosted by MC Gareth McCray OAM, a familiar voice from 2UE radio and featured captivating entertainment from professional performer Meredith O’Reilly.
