We are delighted to invite you to our most anticipated event of the year - the Colour Ball! After last year’s incredible evening, we can’t wait to welcome you back for a spectacular evening filled with energy and purpose. An evening our guests call truly unique - join us for the first time, bring someone new, or come back to relive the magic.

This year is especially meaningful as we honour five years since Ella passed away and the Ella Dawson Foundation was founded. To mark this milestone, we are launching a year-long campaign celebrating five years of creating brighter futures for young adults with cancer and the Colour Ball is the perfect way to kick it off.
