Last month, the Newcastle Exhibition & Convention Centre was transformed into a dazzling world of enchantment for our 8th annual MHF Magic Ball. With a sold-out crowd of 600 guests, led by Master of Ceremonies Peter Overton, it was once again the hottest event in town! The glamorous guests were treated to a trip down memory lane as Mark & Kirralee Hughes, alongside Danny Buderus and Paul ‘Chief’ Harragon, shared some fun and inspiring stories of how the foundation started from humble beginnings and grew to where it is today. After jaw-dropping performances from Akrobatika and Opera By Disguise, everyone hit the dance floor to celebrate 10 years of MHF Magic!
We’re absolutely thrilled to share that the Magic Ball raised an incredible $234,398 this year – a huge achievement made possible by the generosity and support of everyone involved.
A massive thank you to our amazing team and partners who helped make the night a huge success:

We also want to give a special shout-out to our Gold Sponsors: Australian Hotels Association – Newcastle Hunter, Avery Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, and The MacDougall Foundation. Plus, a huge thanks to our Silver, Bronze, and Beverage Sponsors for their continued support and for making the night possible. We couldn’t do it without you!
