David Campbell and Brooke Boney are set to host Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight, presented by AAMI.
The annual Christmas Eve tradition will be broadcast live from Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday, December 24, at 8.00pm on Channel Nine and 9Now.
This year will celebrate the 85th year of Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight as a lineup of stars light up the stage with everyone’s favourite Christmas songs and carols to sing along to.
“I’m excited to be joining David this year to host Carols. I love Christmas, and being able to spread Christmas cheer to everyone is an absolute treat, we also raise money for children who are blind or have low vision and their families,” Boney said.
“Christmas is such a wonderful time, and I’m always so honoured to be a part of such a wonderful Christmas Eve tradition. My family love Christmas, and it’s made even better by raising money for Vision Australia and the children and families all over Australia that need support. It’s going to be a spectacular night,” Campbell said.
Campbell and Boney will be joined again by Channel Nine’s Carols family, including David Hobson, Marina Prior, Silvie Paladino, Anthony Callea, Tim Campbell and Denis Walter. Also joining them this year will be Mitch Tambo, Casey Donovan, the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir, Rob Mills, Bobby Fox, Vika & Linda Bull, Emma Watkins and Simon Gleeson, with many more names to be announced.
Carols by Candlelight is Vision Australia’s biggest annual fundraiser for children’s services, with 100% of profits from ticket sales going directly towards supporting over 2300 families whose children are blind or have low vision.
Vision Australia recently announced it has partnered with QMS for the event. QMS is supporting the organisation with a digital out-of-home campaign that will span the eastern seaboard.
