Brendan Moar joins Honour Awards

Foxtel gardener Brendan Moar (pictured) will join other celebrities at Thursday night’s Honour Awards to celebrate outstanding achievements within or contributions to NSW’s GLBT community.

The host of the Lifestyle Channel’s Moar Gardening will join The Biggest Loser’s Michelle Bridges and leading community identities at The Ivy superclub to honour five winners from a field of 22 finalists.

The awards are a gala fundraising event for ACON, NSW’s and Australia’s largest GLBT health and HIV/AIDS organisation. Community members are encouraged to buy tickets to support ACON’s work.

ACON CEO Nicolas Parkhill said the event will be a truly memorable occasion.

“The awards this year are a much bigger celebration of our community than past years and we thank our presenting partners Foxtel, SSO, NSW Seniors Week and the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Business Association for helping us create such a wonderful event,” Parkhill said.

“All 22 finalists are extremely worthy of being recognised because their achievements and contributions are all remarkable in their own way. I congratulate all of our finalists and look forward to them and other members of our community coming together to celebrate their achievements at the Honour awards ceremony and cocktail party on Thursday evening.”

Parkhill says money raised from tickets sales and a silent auction will help fund ACON’s vital work in the community.

“By coming along to the Honour Awards, community members, their friends and associates can celebrate the dynamic spirit of our community and, at the same time, raise money to help ACON build our community’s health and wellbeing.”

Items in the silent auction include art, furniture, mobile devices and professional services, as well as beauty, fitness, dining and travel experiences.
