We are proud to present The Pirate Ship Foundation's BrainChild Ball, Minoa - Believe on Friday 23rd August 2024 in the Crown Ballroom at Crown Perth.

Our theme this year pays tribute to Madagascar with the Malagasy word "minoa" translating to the English word believe.

Madagascan culture embraces a colourful fusion of influences, expressed with vibrant music at the centre of many important celebrations.

Believe and you are halfway to success!

The power of strong family and community connections perfectly encapsulates the Madagascan culture and lifestyle.

We believe by coming together to raise much needed research funds, we will be closer to discovering less harsh treatments for children impacted by brain cancer.

This in turn will help build stronger families and communities.

In its eighth year to date, The BrainChild Ball has raised a total of over $2.8 million to further the vision of The Pirate Ship Foundation - happy healthy children free of brain cancer. Across the Foundation, around 90% of all funds raised are directed to research, ensuring the maximum impact from your generosity.

Reid is this year’s BrainChild and is a miracle 3-year-old that has beaten all the odds. At the age of 6 months, Reid was a happy thriving little baby who was hitting all his milestones and a dream for his first-time parents. Leading up to Reid's diagnosis in March 2021, his only symptom was a larger than average head that started to tilt to one side. To hear the news that he had a stage 4 Glioblastoma which was taking up three quarters of the left side of his brain was devastating for his parents, even more so that he was given a 5% chance of survival.

Three years later, Reid is a happy, cheeky little boy who still has many struggles post cancer, but he tries his hardest. His new everyday life consists of regular hospital visits, physio, occupational therapy and speech appointments.

Tables of 10 are available for $3,500 and include a mouth-watering three course meal, premium beverages and stand-out entertainment.

Please join us for this year’s event on Friday 23rd August 2024 in the Crown Ballroom at Crown Perth as we celebrate everything Madagascar.
