Enter the garden. Walk with us.

Step into an enchanted garden and be part of an unforgettable evening of elegance, celebration and impact. The Gold Ribbon Gala is an evening where every step carries meaning and every moment helps shape brighter futures.

More than a Gala

The Gold Ribbon Gala is the signature fundraising event for Childhood Cancer Association, created to inspire connection, generosity and hope. Over the past five years, this extraordinary evening has raised more than $1.1 million, directly supporting children and families facing childhood cancer.

In 2025 alone, the Gala raised over $256,000, a powerful reflection of what is possible when a community comes together with purpose. The enchanted garden is not just a setting; it is a space where generosity takes root and grows into lasting change.

Hosted with heart

Guiding the evening will be our much-loved hosts Hayley Pearson and Jarrod Walsh, whose warmth, humour and genuine connection bring the night to life. Together, they will lead guests through moments of celebration, reflection and generosity, ensuring the cause remains at the heart of the experience.
