Be Centre Foundation Annual Charity Gala : Be the Light - Has Ended

Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with hope, inspiration and generosity at Be Centre’s Annual Charity Gala—our most significant fundraising event of the year.

On Friday, 30th May 2025, we warmly invite families, friends, staff, volunteers and supporters of Be Centre to come together at the Manly Pacific Hotel in support of children facing life’s toughest emotional challenges.

This year’s theme, Be the Light, reflects the power of hope, positivity and the vital role we all play in helping children overcome adversity. It embodies the heart of Be Centre’s mission: to provide a safe and nurturing space for children to heal, grow and rediscover joy through creative therapies like play, art and drama.

For children who have endured profound trauma, our therapeutic services offer a lifeline. Many of these children, facing severe emotional and behavioural difficulties, are unable to access traditional mental health care due to financial barriers or long waitlists. Through targeted support, we ensure that children from vulnerable families—facing hardship, grief or crisis—receive the care they need. Every child deserves to feel safe, confident and hopeful and with your support, we can continue making this a reality.

Since 2007, Be Centre Foundation has been transforming lives, providing life-changing therapeutic services to children who need it most.

Reflecting on Past Successes

Last year’s Gala was an overwhelming success, with powerful performances, touching stories and extraordinary generosity from our community. We raised over $110,000, ensuring that we could continue to fund critical therapy services for children in need. The evening was filled with live music, heartfelt performances and moments that showcased the impact of your support. Take a look at a short video from our Gala last year, here.
