Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available along with individual tickets. Tickets can be booked by contacting Stewart House on (02) 9938 3021.
In 2009 not only is it extremely important that the level of fundraising substantially increases but it is critical that there is further awareness of work achieved at Stewart House for public school children.
