A Night of Wishes Gala Ball

Our 2026 Melbourne Gala Ball, proudly presented by Porsche Cars Australia, was a truly extraordinary evening bringing together an incredible community of supporters, partners and friends, all united by the power of a wish.

Hosted by our National Patron Melissa Doyle AM, the night was filled with powerful and heartfelt stories that showcased the real impact of wishes. From Shawn, Australia’s very first wish recipient, to wish kids like Adam (supported by sister Matilda), Archie and Chloe, and our National Patron and extraordinary storyteller Robyn Moore AM, each story was a reminder of why we do what we do.

To everyone who attended, supported, volunteered, and gave so generously, thank you. Your presence and belief in our mission helps create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

A special thank you to our valued partners who made the night possible:

💙 Naming Rights Partner – Porsche Cars Australia
