Over the past few months, we’ve heard the same feeling again and again.

This is more than just one night.

From the first event at Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre, to the incredible support from businesses and the wider community, the Barwon Health Foundation Gala Ball has become a moment that truly belongs to Geelong.

Now officially sold out, the excitement continues to build for a night this city won’t forget.

A Gala for Geelong. By Geelong.

The Circle of Care is a special opportunity to come together and support the Barwon Women’s and Children’s Appeal, close to home.

It’s about supporting exceptional care for women, babies and families who need it most - right here in our community.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps strengthen the care behind some of life’s most important moments.

Your generosity, big or small, makes a real difference, you can learn more or get involved through the Circle of Care.
