RizeUp Gala Fundraising Ball
“It takes a village”
Wow, what an unforgettable night! The second annual RizeUp Gala Ball 2024 was a massive success, raising an incredible $250,000 to support women and children escaping domestic and family violence.
Between our incredible MC’s and longtime RizeUp Patron’s, Cameron and Ali Daddo, Franky Smart and the Padua College Boys Choir, our guests were entertained all night long.
A huge shoutout and heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing sponsors – we couldn’t have done it without you! Without your generous support the Gala Ball would not have been the huge success it was – we are wildly thankful for your support.

To everyone who bought tickets, both to the Ball and the RizeUp Gala Ball Raffle – THANK YOU! We’re beyond excited to announce the raffle winners below.
A special thanks goes to Haesley Cush, our auctioneer extraordinaire, who helped us raise an astonishing $37,400 at our live auction! And to Helena and her team at Dreamweavers for creating another magical event – you truly outdid yourselves for the second year in a row. We also couldn’t have pulled off this spectacular night without the incredible support of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre team, who made everything look effortless.
We are also deeply grateful to the wonderful team at Mamamia for their unwavering support in the lead-up to the Gala Ball – you’ve been amazing and we appreciate the work you’ve done to help us raise awareness along with Bordertown Films for so beautifully capturing the evening.
To our wonderful volunteers – your dedication and big hearts mean the world to us. A special thank you to Cathy Shannon from Origin, who rallied her fantastic team of colleagues to help out on the night.
And lastly but oh so importantly, thank you to the generous companies and individuals who donated prizes for our raffle and live auction – your contributions made this the most successful raffle and auction we’ve EVER had!
