Babies Above Glimmer of Hope Gala 2026
Description
Join us for the 2026 Babies Above Glimmer of Hope Gala - an evening of connection, remembrance and hope, while raising vital funds to support families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
Following the incredible support of our inaugural Gala in 2025, we’re so excited to bring our community together again for an even bigger night in 2026.
Held at the Mercure Ballarat Convention Centre on Saturday 17th October, the evening will include canapés on arrival, a two-course dinner, a complimentary drink on arrival, live and silent auctions, raffles, guest speakers and stories from both lived-experience and professional perspectives.
At the heart of the night is the reason Babies Above exists, to ensure families experiencing the loss of a baby feel supported, acknowledged and never alone.
Funds raised through the Glimmer of Hope Gala will help Babies Above continue providing our bereavement care packages to local hospitals, supporting families directly, creating meaningful remembrance initiatives and expanding the support we can provide within our community.
In Their Honour
As part of this year’s Gala, we are creating our In Their Honour remembrance display. A special space dedicated to the babies who are loved, remembered and forever part of our families. You do not need to be attending the Gala to include your baby. If you would like your baby to be included, you can submit their name, photo and story through the form below: https://form.jotform.com/262111478606051
We would be honoured to include them.
