elcome to the 18th POSH Gala Ball. I’ve been very fortunate to attend POSH for the past 10 years, and I am extremely honoured that this year I will be joining you as CEO of Cancer Council NSW. It’s a wonderful evening made possible because of so many passionate people. I’d like to express my appreciation for the dedicated POSH Committee who work tirelessly throughout the year to bring us one of Australia’s best gala balls. The ongoing success of this event is testament to the passion and commitment of these committee members and to you, our sponsors and generous supporters.

O

n behalf of the POSH Committee, thank you to everyone who has once again contributed so generously to POSH 2017. We look forward to

meeting and greeting many old friends, as well as new, and thank the corporate partners and all our guests for attending. We all gather here tonight for a fun and enjoyable evening, but most importantly, we come together in our quest that together we will raise funds for Cancer Council NSW to continue its vital work towards beating cancer.

Over the past 17 years, POSH has raised more than $13 million towards the work of Cancer Council NSW. We are proud to represent the community as one of the largest non-government funders of cancer research in Australia, conducting and funding world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer.

Over the course of the evening, there will be several ways

Research underpins our work across every stage of the cancer journey: prevention programs, which help people make healthier lifestyle choices; information and support that empowers people affected by cancer; and an advocacy network that ensures governments take action.

Many generous people have contributed in the past

Thank you to everyone attending POSH tonight. Everything we do is only possible because of people like you.

The unquenchable spirit of generosity from your

RESEARCH OUTLINE C

ancer Council NSW has been a continuous supporter of Professor Roger Reddel’s research, ever since he was recruited back from the USA to the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) in Sydney. He is currently working on a far-reaching

research program that aims to transform the way cancer is diagnosed and to increase the accuracy of treatment decisions for each individual cancer patient. Together with Professor Phil Robinson, Professor Reddel is leading an initiative, named ProCan, which is using a new technology to analyse many thousands of different cancer samples of all types, from children and adults, over the next five years. The analyses are all being done at CMRI in a purpose-built, industrial-scale research laboratory. The cancer samples, and information about their response to treatment, are being provided by experts in each cancer type from around Australia and internationally. The ProCan program will use “big data” methods to match the pattern of key molecules in the cancers with their response to treatment. “Since I last spoke in 2011, thanks to your funding I have been able to continue my research to improve the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. One of the exciting outcomes of our current research program will be an ‘internet of cancers’. This means that when a patient is newly diagnosed with cancer, a sample of the cancer will be analysed within 24 to 36 hours, and the pattern of key molecules it contains will be used to search a global database to determine what treatments worked best – and, just as importantly, which treatments did not work – in patients with the most similar cancers. This will increase the accuracy of treatment decisions, enhancing the ability of clinicians to choose effective treatments for each patient, and avoiding the sideeffects and loss of vital time that would result from choosing an ineffective treatment. Just like the internet itself, this internet of cancers will continue growing and will be continuously updated as new treatments become available.”

Fund a researcher and help make cervical cancer history

1. FUND A PHD RESEARCHER Professor Karen Canfell is a world recognised expert in cervical cancer screening and prevention. As Director of Research at Cancer Council NSW, she leads a world-class team that is closely studying the interplay between HPV vaccination and cervical screening. The team helped inform major changes to Australia’s National Cervical Screening Program, which includes moving from a two-yearly Pap test to an HPV test every five years. This HPV test is able to detect the human papillomavirus which causes cervical cancer. This new cervical screening program will make Australia the first country in the world to have a truly integrated approach to HPV vaccination and cervical screening. Professor Canfell’s team has a wide range of expertise and is made up of researchers, PhD students, modellers and programmers. The group works internationally, regularly conducting economic evaluations of new cervical screening technologies for government agencies across Australia, New Zealand and England. The researchers are also part of a global research effort, funded by the US National Institutes of Health and coordinated by Harvard University, to evaluate new cervical cancer prevention options in the USA. Cancer Council invites eight people or organisations to each invest: $5,000 for 1 year (2017) $15,000 incrementally over 3 years (2017−2019) Cancer Council NSW has an exciting opportunity to fund a three-year scholarship for an up-and-coming researcher. The researcher will work with Professor Karen Canfell and her team across a range of projects including Compass, Australia’s largest ever clinical trial. As part of a collaboration between Cancer Council NSW and the Victorian Cytology Service, Compass is the first trial in the world to look at cervical screening in an HPV-vaccinated population. The results of the trial will provide crucial early insight into the performance of the new National Cervical Screening Program. By funding this PhD position, you will: Meet the researchers for a briefing and update Receive 6-monthly reports from the team Be part of the global effort to make cervical cancer history. *all donations are tax deductible

2A. TRANSPORT TO TREATMENT Cancer treatment usually occurs over an extended period of time and requires repeated attendance at facilities which may be far from home. Radiotherapy, in particular, requires daily attendance for up to six weeks and a common side effect is fatigue. When surveyed as part of a 2016 evaluation, 7 in 10 people indicated that if the Cancer Council NSW transport service was not available, they would miss medical appointments at least occasionally. 2 in 10 people said they would miss every appointment. Fortunately, with your help, Cancer Council NSW can work to address this need with the statewide Transport to Treatment program.

5. CHATEAU D’OYRE‘ MACKENZIE The Chateau d’Oyre’ is located in the picturesque Loire Valley, France. It was built between 1396 and 1405, and it was added upon in the 17th and 18th centuries with additional rooms and an orangerie. In the 600 years of its existence, there have only been 6 families who have owned it. The previous owner was a structural engineer who satisfied a lifetime goal to renovate a run-down chateau. The current owners bought the property in 2006 and have made efforts each year to continue the improvements, particularly in planting new trees and improving gardens. The property houses many outbuildings, including a well room (which pre-dates the chateau), gardener’s house, baker’s house/bakery, and other buildings now used for garaging. The stables were pulled down by the previous owner, and there is now a swimming pool and pool house in their place. Behind the walled ‘French Garden’, is a 18th century chapel set in woodlands. p to 2 weeks accommodation for 14 people U Access to Chapel, French gardens, swimming pool, bikes, English television and wifi Housekeeping, catering & qualified French teacher available for an additional cost Dates exclude June/July school holiday period; subject to availability Valid until December 2018 Highly recommend to plan your dates for 2018.
