What an unforgettable night! The 43rd Annual Benedictine Dinner Dance, "Pride of the Lions," was an absolute triumph, bringing together over 500 attendees for a night of unparalleled Benedictine spirit!
Watch the following video to bring back that incredible feeling. It perfectly captures the energy and excitement of the evening!
Despite the chilly and wet weather, our incredible community truly "braved the elements" and showed up looking absolutely amazing, ready to celebrate. The energy in Springvale City Hall was electric from the moment doors opened.
We kicked off the evening with our fantastic emcee, Stefan, who kept the atmosphere buzzing and the program flowing seamlessly. The dance floor was alive, thanks to the phenomenal performances by DADDY and Redemption with George and Shehara. Everyone had an awesome time, dancing and singing along, proving that the Benedictine rhythm is truly infectious!
A huge roar of appreciation goes out to everyone who supported our raffle! All tickets were completely sold out, and the excitement as the winners were announced was palpable. From the luxurious electric recliner lounge suite to the dream return flights to Colombo and hotel stays in Sri Lanka, the prizes were certainly worth the anticipation! Every dollar raised from those tickets will go directly towards supporting St. Benedict's College – a massive thank you for your generosity!
We extend our sincerest gratitude to all our event sponsors and raffle draw sponsors. Your invaluable support was instrumental in making this event a resounding success.
And of course, we can't forget the delectable spread provided by Silver Line Caterers, whose tasty food fueled our dancing and celebrations throughout the night.
The "Pride of the Lions" Dinner Dance 2025 was a resounding success, a true testament to the strength and unity of our Alma Mater as we marked 160 years. It was a night filled with camaraderie, joyous celebration, and a deep sense of pride.
Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to making this event truly special. Your unwavering Benedictine spirit made this year's Dinner Dance one for the history books!
