Strength in numbers Soirée – fundraising goal reached!

Thanks to your generosity, passion and support, the Strength in Numbers Soirée raised an incredible $157,858.76 for the Foundation

The evening was about connection, courage, and community – and we’re so grateful to LM for partnering with us for the second year running. LM, your support doesn’t just make nights like this possible – it helps us save lives.

Special thanks to LM Director Vince Valente, and to Erin Button, Jo Chambers, and the whole LM team for your energy, passion and generosity. LM’s culture of wellbeing, purpose and leadership is a shining example of impact in action.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, bid, and cheered us on. We’re deeply grateful to our generous sponsors and event partners whose support helped bring this unforgettable night to life – your commitment fuels our mission and amplifies our impact.

Special thanks to our ambassadors Hugo Toovey and Charlotte Lasica for sharing their stories, ambassador Max Burford for being our MC, Phil Harris for being a wonderful auctioneer and to our incredible volunteers who gave their time and heart – thank you. This event wouldn’t have been possible without you. Together, we’ve taken a powerful stand against bowel cancer.

Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world. It’s the second most common cause of cancer-related death. Every two hours, bowel cancer claims a life. But detected early, up to 99% of cases can be successfully treated or prevented.

Your support is helping fund vital prevention and early detection initiatives – giving more Australians the chance to beat this disease.

Together, we are saving lives.
