Grey Matter Gala 2026

✨The Grey Matter Gala – Illuminating Hope, Driving Progress.✨

Join us for an unforgettable evening of purpose and elegance at the 2026 Grey Matter Gala.

Held on Saturday 10th October in the stunning Bellevue Ballroom at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, this gala event is proudly hosted to support the work of the Daniela Dwyer Foundation. All proceeds raised go towards funding groundbreaking brain cancer research and improved diagnostic and treatment options for patients.

Guests will enjoy a sumptuous three-course dinner paired with premium Ampersand Estates wines and Gage Roads Brew Co. craft beers. Enjoy all this alongside live music, entertainment, and a silent and live auction featuring exceptional items and experiences.

We are honoured to be able to welcome Professor Sudha Rao, internationally renowned cancer researcher from QIMR Berghofer, as our special guest speaker on the night. Professor Rao will be sharing insights into her pioneering work in brain cancer research and provide an update on how the funding support from DDF and last year's Grey Matter Gala has led to a massive step forward in her world-first digital liquid biopsy platform's clinical trials and progression towards TGA approval and implementation.
