Introducing our Diamond Sponsor, Zeekr Geelong ✨
A new chapter in innovation, backed by a family name that has been part of Geelong for generations.
As part of the Rex Gorell Group, Zeekr Geelong is proud to support the Barwon Health Foundation Gala Ball, helping bring our community together for a cause that will have a lasting impact across the region.
Hear from Pike Peters, Marketing Manager at Zeekr Geelong, on what it means to support the Foundation and be part of this sold-out event at Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre.
Thank you to Zeekr Geelong for proudly supporting the Gala Ball as our Diamond Sponsor.
This is what happens when Geelong comes together behind something that truly matters.
What this Appeal means goes far beyond one night.
Catherine Middlemiss, Chair of the Barwon Women’s and Children’s Appeal, shares what she hopes families across our region will feel when accessing care close to home.
Supported. Reassured. Cared for.
With the Gala Ball now officially sold out, Geelong has already shown the strength of what community can achieve when it comes together behind something that matters.
When Freddie needed care, his family needed to stay close.
In this heartfelt conversation, Amy shares what that support meant during one of the most challenging times of their lives and why she's encouraging our community to support the Barwon Women's & Children's Appeal.

Introducing Catherine Middlemiss, Chair of the Barwon Women’s and Children’s Appeal.
Catherine shares why this Appeal matters so deeply to her, and what it means for the future of care for women, children and families across our region.
“This is about people coming together to create something better for the future.”
A once-in-a-generation investment in healthcare, the Appeal will help enhance care close to home for thousands of local families for decades to come.
And with the Gala Ball now officially sold out, it’s clear Geelong is already showing up in a big way.
Geelong has always been a community that shows up.
Mayor Stretch Kontelj OAM shares why the City of Greater Geelong is proud to support the Barwon Health Foundation Gala Ball as Presenting Partner, backing an initiative that invests in the future of local healthcare and our growing region.
Now officially sold out, the Gala Ball has become something much bigger than just an event. It’s a reflection of Geelong backing its own community and showing what’s possible when a city comes together behind something that really matters.

Over the past few months, we’ve heard the same feeling again and again.
This is more than just one night.
From the first event at Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre, to the incredible support from businesses and the wider community, the Barwon Health Foundation Gala Ball has become a moment that truly belongs to Geelong.
Now officially sold out, the excitement continues to build for a night this city won’t forget.
A Gala for Geelong. By Geelong.
