Mark your calendars for a special evening of celebration and giving at the Ronald McDonald House Charities gala ball, hosted by Jess Adamson and Chris Dittmar.
Ronald McDonald House Charities South Australia (RMHCSA) is thrilled to announce its 25th Anniversary Gala Ball on Saturday, 21 June 2025, at the prestigious Adelaide Convention Centre.
This milestone year marks a quarter-century of RMHCSA providing a vital ‘home away from home’ for families of ill and injured children receiving medical treatment.
Join over 500 guests to reflect on the incredible impact the charity has had on countless lives across South Australia.
The evening promises to be a magical affair, hosted by the dynamic duo of Jess Adamson and Chris Dittmar.
As RMHCSA celebrates 25 years of unwavering support, the Gala Ball will highlight the profound difference it has made, offering comfort, care and a sense of community during challenging times.
“This 25th Anniversary Gala Ball is a momentous occasion for Ronald McDonald House Charities South Australia,” said RMHCSA CEO Melissa Monkhouse.
“It’s a chance to celebrate the thousands of families we’ve been privileged to support over the past quarter-century and to ensure we can continue to provide that vital ‘home away from home’ for families who need us in the years to come.
“We are deeply grateful for the ongoing generosity of our community and look forward to a truly special night.”
Guests can indulge in a delightful three-course meal, perfectly complemented by premium South Australian wines, all while supporting a truly worthy cause.
The Cast’s high energy music promises to get everyone up and dancing
The theme of the evening, ‘Celebrating 25 Years of Ronald McDonald House South Australia’, will be brought to life through engaging entertainment provided by the talented band, The Cast.
Beyond the dining and entertainment, the Gala Ball offers meaningful opportunities to contribute directly to RMHCSA.
Guests can participate in a thrilling live auction, browse enticing items in the silent auction, try their luck at the wine wall, or enjoy a drink at the champagne and cocktail bar – all proceeds directly supporting the charity’s essential work.
The impact of Ronald McDonald House is particularly significant in South Australia, where 1 in 4 families from regional areas often need to travel to Adelaide for their children’s medical care, often with little notice.
The House provides a crucial sanctuary, removing the burden of finding suitable and affordable accommodation.
It offers a warm and welcoming environment where families can stay together, fostering connection through communal social areas and providing dedicated spaces for siblings to play and study.
This annual Gala Ball is RMHCSA’s key fundraising event, and every dollar raised goes directly towards ensuring that families continue to have access to this invaluable support.
By attending, guests will be directly contributing to providing a comforting and supportive haven for families navigating the complexities of their child’s illness.
This special evening would not be possible without the incredible generosity of RMHCSA’s ongoing partners.
RMHCSA extends it sincere gratitude and offers special recognition to its valued Platinum partners, Bella Build & Design and oOh! media, for their Incredibly generous commitment and support.
Gather your family, friends and colleagues for a wonderful night out with a purpose. The 25th Anniversary Gala Ball is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a memorable evening while making a tangible difference in the lives of SA families with ill or injured children.
