The keynote address delivered at the Aurora Annual Dinner each year is a significant statement on current issues of importance to the Australian gay and lesbian community.
The 2007 keynote address was delivered by New Zealander Georgina Beyer, the world's first transsexual Mayor and Member of Parliament.
Aurora exists so people can donate to a broad range of causes that benefit the lesbian, gay and transgender communities.
Aurora's two major beneficiaries are Twenty Ten GLBT Youth Support and the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service of NSW in addition to a broad range of other community organisations and projects.
Aurora was founded by a group of friends who shared a common history of extensive involvement in many community organisations.
