What an incredible night and incredible result. So incredibly proud to be a part of it 🤩💙
Can we say incredible enough?
$667,400 RAISED ✨
And the final total is even bigger than we first thought! Now that every last donation has been counted and the final invoices are in, we’re thrilled to share that our official total has climbed to an incredible $667,400.
Yep. You read that right. We’re still amazed by the support.
Thanks to one incredible night, and one seriously generous room, we raised an unbelievable $667,400.
A night like this takes a village (and quite a few spreadsheets), so there are some very important people we need to thank.
✨ Our incredible sponsors. Our major sponsor, Amcal Pharmacy, for their epic generosity on the night, as well as their unrelenting support of RizeUp. Our platinum sponsors, Kmart Australia and Bunnings Warehouse Australia for your support year after year, and The Star Gold Coast and First National Real Estate for your amazing support this year.
A special mention to First National for introducing us to our brilliant auctioneer, James Bateman, who had the room alive with bids. And to our diamond sponsors, The Handmade Food Co Pty Ltd, Harmony Early Education and Wesfarmers, thank you for helping make our night possible.
🙌 Our incredible volunteers, who were everywhere, doing everything, all night long. Thank you!
🪩 Dreamweavers Event Productions, Helena Medhurst and the team, aka the event masterminds who brought A Night Under the Stars to life. We adore our partnership.
📣 Pressed PR for helping us share the night, and the reason behind it, far and wide.
💫 Our Gala Ball Committee, who put so much time, energy and heart into making this night what it was.
Thank you feels too small for everything you all contributed to such an incredible event — one that will make a very real difference to so many lives.
$667,400. What a night. What a community. 🩵
