Glitz and glamour for second Tori Awards

All Aboard disABILITY Support Services’ night of nights lit up the Torquay sky last Friday with participants and families glitzed up in their best op shop glamour.

The second annual Tori Awards, All Aboard’s annual awards night, lit up Torquay Salvos on Boston Road by rolling out the red carpet as the region’s all-abilities community was recognised for their achievements over the past year.

 

 

All Aboard co-founder Kate Marshall said the sell-out event was a night to remember.

“It was a hugely successful night on the whole, there was so much gratitude from the families, and a lot of pride from our participants,” Ms Marshall said.

“The entertainment was fabulous, and it was just a terrific night from start to end.

“We are also really pleased with the feedback we have received from the night too.”

 

 

Savannah Hibbs took home the headline award of the evening, the Bright Betty Award for embodying resilience and taking different approaches to thinking.

The awards ceremony was followed by celebrations of live music and dancing until 9.30pm.
