The annual gala fundraiser for the Goldfields Women’s Refuge.

Join 250 guests for the first annual Goldfields Women’s Refuge fundraising Gala on the 15th of May 2026, at the Evolution Basketball Stadium.

Since 1979, the Goldfields Women’s Refuge, also known as Finlayson House, has provided crisis accommodation and support to women and children suffering from domestic violence and homelessness. In recent years, the Refuge has expanded to offer Mobile and Domestic Violence Outreach Services. Operating 24 hours, 7 days a week.

The refuge operates primarily off operational funding from the Department of Communities, however could not continue providing these critical services without the generous support of the community through fundraising.

Delight in a stylish cocktail-style evening filled with live entertainment, delicious canapés and fine wine, alongside a spectacular Diamond Champagne Bar, silent auctions, raffles and games designed to inspire plenty of generosity.

Experience entertainment like no other!

Appearing in Kalgoorlie for the first time... we welcome Chris Lloyds and the Jamie Rigg Band!

Take a sentimental journey with Chris Lloyds and the Jamie Rigg Band and be serenaded by songs from the Great American Songbook and classic Jazz Standards.
