:: A night in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland to support mental health

By: Carmine Pascuzzi

Step into a twisted alternate reality in character to raise money for mental health charity SANE Australia at Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland to be held on March 4 at Gold Class, Event Cinemas, Bondi, Westfield Bondi Junction. The charity event will include watching the highly anticipated Alice In Wonderland in 3D. The film will jump off the screen at the audience combining virtual reality with actual reality as dressed up audience members practically feel like characters in the film.

Organiser, Judith Cantor said, “Tim Burton‘s 'Alice In Wonderland’ is bound to be as brilliant, quirky and dark as his other films, if not better. And we are the first country to see it! So, get dressed in character (compulsory) and come and watch this fantastical new release in 3D!”

SANE is an independent charity with no ongoing government support. SANE conducts innovative programs and campaigns to improve the lives of people living with mental illness, their family and friends. It also operates a busy Helpline and website, which have thousands of contacts each year from around Australia. “There is such a stigma surrounding mental health and it's about time we broke through it. SANE work tirelessly to help people affected by mental illness live a fuller life. This charity event will assist in raising money for this important group,” said Ms Cantor.

The event is supported by Edifier, Stevie English Hair, Cocolo Chocolates who are donating prizes. Sponsors Fancy Shmancy Boutique Fancy Dress Hire are assisting in costume hire and Face Focus will be donating their face painting services to make the night even more fun.
