An unforgettable night for a future worth fighting for.

Join more than 500 passionate supporters at the prestigious RACV Royal Pines Resort for the third annual Wildlife for Tomorrow Charity Gala, an extraordinary evening of entertainment, generosity and impact in support of Australia’s precious native wildlife.

Headlining the night is Australian country music powerhouse Casey Barnes, performing live on the Royal Ballroom stage following a huge year that saw his latest album Made For This reach #1 on the ARIA Australian Artist Albums Chart and Australian Artist Country Albums Chart.

And the line-up doesn’t stop there.

Much-loved 7NEWS presenter Tony Auden returns as MC, sharing the lectern with Sunrise journalist and Gold Coast local Georgia Costi.

NICKA35 will bring the tunes, good vibes and big energy, while award-winning Gold Coast artist Shannon Doyle creates a one-of-a-kind artwork live throughout the evening. And when it’s time to raise some serious funds for wildlife, Billy Jaz will take the stage as our charity auctioneer.

At the heart of this spectacular night is a cause that urgently needs our support.

Every day, the dedicated team at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital provides critical care to injured, sick and orphaned native wildlife, rehabilitating and releasing them back into their natural environment.

With the new Currumbin Wildlife Institute currently under construction, we are expanding our impact beyond treatment to prevention, advancing vital research and education to help protect threatened species before they require care.

From the animals treated within our Wildlife Hospital to the innovative research protecting species in the wild, every ticket, every bid and every contribution helps create a lasting impact for Australian wildlife.

Come dressed with a touch of wild and join us for a remarkable night of live music, entertainment, generosity and purpose.

Together, we can build a future worth fighting for.
