The Grey Matter Soirée

The Grey Matter Soirée, presented by Bone Dry, will take place at Adelaide Oval on Thursday, May 22, 2025. The evening features fine food, wine, and inspiring speakers, all in support of brain cancer research.

Influencer Olivia Molly Rogers will share her journey as she prepares to run a full marathon in South Africa to raise funds for Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer (CB4BC) Foundation. Hosted by MC Jess Adamson, Olivia will speak alongside her cousin Francesca (Ces) Klemich, who is battling brain cancer.

“My beautiful cousin Ces is sunshine in human form,” Olivia says.

“Each step I take will be a tribute to Ces and everyone battling brain cancer.”

The event includes a two-course dinner and an unlimited beverage package. Presenting partner Bone Dry’s CEO Brett Anderson says, “we’re thrilled to be part of this special event.” Silent and live auctions, raffle draws, and live music will also feature. Proceeds will assist vital research, notably through The Brain Cancer Centre in Victoria.
