BrainTree Ball @ Te Pae 2024

Our BrainTree Ball at Te Pae was an unforgettable experience.

With 550+ guests we weren't sure we could recreate the intimacy of previous balls. From the moment the STAC pipe band led us into the ballroom we felt something special was unfolding.

Petra Bagust our MC, Phil McGoldrick our auctioneer and Mirrors Band were sensational yet again. However, the pinnacle of the night was the performance by opera soprano Anna Leese. The power and the passion in her voice was unmistakeable. When she shared her story, it brought a tear to even the staunchest blokes in the room. You could have heard a pin drop.

It was very heartwarming for us to feel such an outpouring of goodwill, empathy and support for the work we do.

The final count from the Ball is in and we've raised a staggering $235,000

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us. It was a night to remember. We feel very fortunate.

We have now begun planning of our BrainTree Ball 2025!
