The Jacinda Royale Raises Funds for Rare Ovarian Cancer Research

by · Greek City Times

The Jacinda Royale, a charity night in memory of 30-year-old Sydney woman Jacinda Manettas, takes over The Pillars in Sydney this Saturday, 7 November, with organisers aiming to raise $100,000 for research into the rare cancer she faced.

Funds raised on the night will go to Professor Kylie Gorringe’s research into mucinous ovarian cancer at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Peter Mac) in Melbourne. Greek City Times reported last week on the Manettas family’s push for more funding after Jacinda’s death.

She had the loudest laugh in every room, so we’re throwing the night she would have thrown.

What happens at The Jacinda Royale

Organised by her brother, Andrew Manettas, the entertainment-led night is expected to host 300 guests. According to the event website, it runs from 6pm until late at The Pillars, 11 Barrack Street, Sydney, with a cocktail dress code.

  • A Queen of Hearts signature cocktail on arrival, followed by canapés
  • Four levels of a private members’ club to explore, including a mystery wine wall
  • Live and silent auctions
  • A charity poker tournament played for a perpetual trophy rather than prizes, with entry by separate donation
  • Music and dancing until late

The website lists Dankav as presenting partner of the poker tournament, Alder Fine Jewellery for the live auction and Antiwrinkle Hair for the silent auction.
