THE COUNTDOWN IS ON...
Be part of something life-changing.
On Saturday, 21 February 2026, we are hosting LIGHT THE WAY, our very first fundraising gala dinner at The Star, Brisbane – and you’re invited.
This unforgettable evening will bring together friends, supporters, and partners to raise vital funds for our mission: building safe, purpose-built housing for women and children escaping domestic violence.
You will enjoy a night of fine dining, live entertainment, and the thrill of our live auctions, featuring exclusive items, unique experiences, and amazing prizes generously donated by our supporters. Every bid will help us take another step toward our goal of 100 homes in five years.
Mark your calendars now and get ready to dress up, dine, and make a difference. Tickets are on sale now and with limited seating available, you won’t want to miss it. Why not gather your friends and family and buy a table of ten – everyone knows having fun is better in numbers!
Be part of making a change, and get ready to join us for an evening where elegance meets impact.
