We are delighted to present the 2024 Spring Gala Charity Dinner. A fundraising event, in support of Karinya House on Friday, 6th of September 2024.

For over 27 years, Karinya House has had the privilege of walking alongside women who are experiencing crises, before, during and after pregnancy. Providing safe housing, health advice, casework, counselling, trauma services, baby goods and much more – we have supported over 2,500 women in Canberra.

The Spring Gala Charity Dinner is inspired by 27 powerful years of resilience and strength, and this year marks the 25th Karinya House Gala Dinner.

Come and enjoy an evening of fabulous food, fine wine, dancing and live music provided by "Hit Parade" and "DJ Carbolic". Help us raise funds with a raffle, live and silent auctions, and the Mystery Wine Draw.

Your ticket includes on arrival drinks, alternate service entrée, main and dessert, tea and coffee, with a complimentary bottle of sparkling, white and red wine on each table. Additional beverages will be available for purchase.

To ensure this event is a successful fundraising event, individual tickets are $180.00 per person (GST Inclusive). We recognise the impact of the cost of living, and if you would like to attend the Gala, however the nominated price is prohibitive, please contact Alison to see what may be arranged.

All funds raised will go directly to Karinya House, supporting women and their babies and children in the Canberra region.

Karinya House is committed to reconciliation. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land upon which we live and work and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We extend this recognition and respect to all Aboriginal people we work with, both as colleagues and those we walk alongside. We recognise sovereignty was never ceded and we celebrate the never-ending connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people around Australia to land, water and community.
