People living with rare diseases and their families can face complex medical, social, and financial challenges, often while navigating conditions that receive limited public awareness. Raising awareness and providing practical support can help ensure rare disease communities have access to resources, opportunities, and a stronger network around them.

Win The Day Charity works to support people affected by rare diseases and raise awareness of the challenges faced by rare disease communities. Through fundraising and community engagement, the charity helps bring attention to the needs of people living with rare conditions and their families. The charity’s 5th Dare to Be Rare Gala Ball will take place on Saturday, 7 November 2026, at the National Convention Centre Canberra.

The event will bring supporters together for an evening dedicated to raising funds and awareness for rare disease causes. Guests are invited to embrace the event’s colorful theme with black-tie attire in any colour of the rainbow, creating a celebration that reflects the diversity and individuality of the rare disease community.

The live and silent auctions are an important part of the Gala’s fundraising efforts, with proceeds helping support the charity’s work. The organization is also seeking suitable products, services, and experiences that can be donated for the auctions. Beyond the formal celebration, the Dare to Be Rare Gala provides an opportunity for the community to come together, show solidarity with people affected by rare diseases, and contribute to a cause that often receives less visibility.

Reserve your place here to attend the 5th Dare to Be Rare Gala Ball and help raise awareness and vital funds for rare disease support.
