✨ Saturday night was an extraordinary reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together around education and opportunity. ✨

Together, we raised $6.2 million at the School for Life Gala Ball, the most successful in our history. 👏

The evening was filled with generosity, connection and a shared belief in creating brighter futures for children in Uganda, including women and girls.

One of the most powerful moments came from Diana, who shared her journey from studying by candlelight to now pursuing her dream of studying law so she can become a Parliamentarian and change the status quo for women in Uganda. Her story was a reminder of why our work matters so much and the life-changing impact education can have not just on the life of an individual, but on a family, a community and a nation. 🙌

A sincere thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, partnered with us and celebrated alongside us.

Special thanks to our Presenting Partner ProForce, and to Hamish Blake OAM for once again bringing such generosity, humour and energy to the evening. 💙

This milestone belongs to our incredible community of supporters who continue to believe in the power of education to change lives. Thank you. 🥰

A world of possibility awaits at tonight’s Live Auction. ✨

From a getaway to VOMO Resort Fiji, an exclusive stay at DOMIC Noosa and a luxury escape to Soneva Fushi in the Maldives. To a three-night stay at Holme Station in New Zealand, a gorilla safari adventure in Uganda and a private charter aboard Dancing Queen on Sydney Harbour. Tonight’s prizes are truly something special.
Every bid helps create more opportunities for young people in Uganda through education.

Thank you to our generous Live Auction donors for making these experiences possible. 💫
