✨The Rebel Ball is the flagship annual event of the Charlie Teo Foundation - raising vital funds to accelerate breakthroughs in brain cancer research.✨

This prestigious, black-tie event is attended by many of Australia’s most prominent philanthropists, celebrities and business leaders who come together for a powerful night of purpose, connection and impact.

Hear directly from Dr Charlie Teo AM as he shares his bold vision for the future - and why disruptive thinking is the only way forward.
