North Star Foundation

A Night That Brought Our Community Together

Our inaugural Light The Way Gala was an evening we will never forget!

Surrounded by a room full of people who genuinely care, the night was a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose. From the conversations and connections to the generosity shown throughout the evening, every moment contributed to something much bigger than a single event. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, supported, and stood alongside us.

 

 

A special thank you to our sponsors, whose generosity helped bring the night to life:

👉🏽  To our dear friend & member of our Board Andrea Crothers, who so glamorously helped us keep the night moving along.

👉🏽  To Kobe Rae, who single-handedly commanded the entire room when it came to the fundraising auctions, leaving us all in no doubt as to why he is the hottest auctioneer in Queensland in 2026!

👉🏽  And, to the wonderful Jo Mason from WorkHaven for sharing her amazing story, and for supporting the work we are doing.

✨ With magical stilt-walking fairies, glowing candles, a string trio, a feisty DJ, and plenty of sparkling champagne flowing, this night will remain etched in our memories forever as our own North Star, guiding us to keep going and reminding us that we are so well supported by this community. Together, we can make a truly lasting impact.
