Join us for an unforgettable evening of purpose, celebration, and connection at Encore St Kilda on Thursday, 26 February 2026.

This is more than a gala - it’s a movement.

Expect a night of elegance, entertainment and impact - featuring a live and silent auction, a charity raffle, and a powerful keynote that will leave you inspired. Enjoy fine dining, live music, and the company of like-minded changemakers - all coming together for a cause that truly matters.

Over the past five years, our community has raised over $100,000 for global women’s empowerment projects, transforming lives through education, financial independence and health initiatives.

In partnership with Just Peoples, we’re continuing that legacy with two powerful projects designed to create lasting change:

✨ Skills Academy for Kenyan Women
This project will provide 30 disadvantaged Kenyan women with a 12-month program focused on financial education, technical skills, life skills and ongoing support. Graduates will gain entrepreneurship training, business mentorship, and access to microcredit, helping them start their own businesses and become community role models.
The total cost to support one cohort is $64,074 AUD.

✨ Prevent Child Marriage in Bangladesh
This initiative supports at-risk girls in rural Bangladesh to stay in school and prevent them from early marriage by offering their families interest-free microloans tied to education and child protection commitments. With 1 in 3 girls in Bangladesh married before 18, this project aims to eliminate early marriage among participants and provide education, mentorship, and safer futures.
The project cost starts at $450 AUD per girl supported.

Every dollar raised at the gala directly supports these impactful projects, empowering women and girls to build better futures.

We hope you can join us for this special evening - a celebration of women’s strength, a commitment to equality, and a night that proves that when we come together, we can transform futures.
