2024 Gala of Enchantment

In May 2024, we hosted our third annual fundraising event, the Gala of Enchantment at the spectacular Plaza Ballroom. We were joined by MPs, industry leaders, sponsors, friends and families we have worked alongside as part of our Ambassador program to share in and celebrate the impact Kidsafe Victoria has made in the past 12 months.

We were overwhelmed by the generosity from our Gold Sponsors Baby Bunting, Britax, Lim’s Pharmacy and Wheelton Philanthropy who helped make our night of impact possible. Our guests surpassed all expectations, contributing to raising vital funds for our programs in child safety through our fundraising activities on the night whilst dancing the night away to the Baker Boys Band.

Special thanks to our incredible MCs Candy Hertz and Matt Welsh and speakers Andrew Crisp, Chloe Shorten, Josh Bull and Richard Lim, whose stories and experiences added insight and inspiration to the evening. As did the brave and courageous ambassador families who shared their stories through the video snippets – thank you.

During the Gala, we announced the inaugural winners of the Kidsafe Awards. Each of these worthy recipients champion the work we do making the world a safer place for children.

The success of the evening is already helping us to expand and create new legacy programs, and support educational programs across the state.

We look forward to sharing our next event with you!
