“Diamond Ball 2025 was a huge success and a truly magical evening.
We’re thrilled to announce, that thanks to some additional donations since the event, we have revised our fundraising total to an incredible $1,807,259 – far surpassing our ambitious goal for the evening.
This incredible generosity is invaluable as we continue our mission to fund vital research and work towards finding a cure for every child with cancer.
A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful families, researchers, and generous donors – your support made this achievement possible.
We are so grateful to our amazing Family Ambassadors Edwina Leslie and Steve Nikolin who touched every heart in the room as they shared their precious daughter Zoe’s story after she tragically passed away at just 11 weeks old.
Also to Kelly and Alan Montgomery who allowed us into their home to film an incredibly moving video about their beautiful boy Ryder, and his extraordinary recovery from an aggressive brain cancer, thanks in part to his enrolment on the Zero Childhood Cancer Program.
Thank you to our wonderful co-hosts, Kylie Gillies and Michael Usher for your humour, heart and professionalism to help the night run smoothly. And thank you to our auctioneers Stuart Gregor and Damien Cooley for helping us to achieve such a phenomenal result.
Thank you to Nikki Quinn, our long-term Family Ambassador and childhood cancer survivor for her powerful Acknowledgement of Country.
We’re also deeply grateful to the Institute’s friends and partners who contributed to our raffle and auction. Your generous gifts and unique experiences played a key role in reaching our goals.
A special thank you to our amazing crew of volunteers who gave up their Saturday evening to help us create and memorable experience for our guests.
Thank you to the team at Flying Ruby Events who always pull out all stops to create the most magical event year after year.
And finally a thank you to our incredible sponsors, without whom, Diamond Ball would not have been possible.
