Light up the Night, Light up the Mind!
St Andrew’s Light up the Mind Ball
An Evening of Elegance and Impact
Saturday, 17 October 2026
RSL Ballina
Step into a night of purpose, celebration, and community spirit at the Light up the Mind Ball – our signature fundraising event dedicated to enhancing the lives of residents living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease across St Andrew’s Aged Care villages in Ballina and Byron Bay.
Join members of the St Andrew’s community to enjoy an elegant evening filled with connection, entertainment by American Byron Bay-based soul singer Lisa Hunt, fine dining, and heartfelt storytelling – all in support of vital improvements to our dementia‑support environments.
Funds raised on the night will directly enable the creation of therapeutic spaces, sensory enhancements, and wellbeing initiatives that enrich daily life for our residents.
Originally scheduled for Saturday 26 May, in response to the significant cost‑of‑living pressures currently facing our community, the ball has been postponed Saturday 17th October.
