“I am very happy to be MC of the GABA Charity Auction for 2014.” says multi-talented artist and entertainer, Mika.
“The GABA Charitable Trust is an important organisation for our community. Their charity work has been instrumental in supporting many at-risk LGBTIQQ organisations that would find it very difficult to find this support elsewhere.”
Proudly presented by ASB, this Sunday’s GABA Charity Auction is attracting a diverse array of hugely generous and highly desirable auction items!
