KOALA Foundation Million Dollar Lunch

In July 2011, Lexus of Blackburn were a proud partner of the 2011 Million Dollar Lunch®. The Million Dollar Lunch® is the KOALA (Kids Oncology and Leukaemia Action) foundation's sole annual fundraiser and is a unique gathering of big business, famous families, high profile identities, media and entertainment leaders.

This year's event, held at Crown Palladium on July 29, raised a much needed $1,212,150 for the KOALA Foundation. All of the funds raised on the day will go directly into programs within the hospitals to provide much needed services supporting children with cancer and their families.

3AW Breakfast - Live from Lexus of Blackburn

To celebrate the premier Lexus sales event, L'Exhibition, we were joined by Melbourne's favourite breakfast team, Ross Stevenson and John Burns from 3AW broadcasting live from the Lexus of Blackburn showroom from 6am to 8.30am on Wednesday, November 9. Customers had the chance to get up close and personal with the iconic duo and see what happens behind the scenes of this hit radio show as well as enjoying a VIP breakfast and prize giveaways.

In 2012, we'll be celebrating L'Exhibition in fine style again, so be sure to visit us and be a part of all the fun.

Variety Great Grand Final Lunch

Lexus of Blackburn partnered with Variety, the Children's Charity, for the annual Great Grand Final Lunch held at Crown Palladium on September 28, 2011.

Now in its 28th year, the AFL Variety Great Grand Final Lunch has become a Melbourne institution, raising over $750,000 to provide much needed support for children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs so they can live, laugh and learn.

Lexus of Blackburn provided the all-new Lexus CT 200h Prestige as the main auction item at the event which fetched over $40,000.

The event was a great success raising over $130,000 for Victorian children in need and we look forward to partnering with Variety again in 2012.

LFA Drive Day - Sandown

This was an exclusive event offered to owners of the IS 350 and IS F sedans to test their own driving capabilities in the IS 350 and IS F around Sandown Raceway. With a professional driver providing one-on-one high performance coaching from the passenger seat, owners gained valuable tips and learned more about the driving potential of these performance vehicles.

With the added thrill of riding upfront with four-time American champion sports car racer Scott Pruett as he completed a lap in the exhilarating supercar, the Lexus LFA, it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience Lexus performance at its most breathtaking peak.

Check back for details of future drive days during 2012.
