Young people can face significant challenges with their mental health, and early education and prevention can play an important role in helping them build the knowledge and confidence to seek support. Fundraising for preventative mental health programs can help reach more young people before they reach a crisis point.
batyr is a youth-focused mental health organization that delivers preventative mental health programs and workshops designed to empower young people through education and stories of hope. Support from events such as the Blue Tie Ball helps batyr continue reaching young people across Australia.
The Blue Tie Ball 2026 will take place on Friday, 9 October 2026, from 6:30 PM to 11:30 PM at ILUMINA, Sydney NSW. The event is batyr’s signature black-tie fundraiser with a disco twist, bringing together guests for an evening focused on raising funds and awareness for preventative mental health initiatives.
Over the past decade, more than $1.5 million has been raised by over 5,000 Blue Tie Ball attendees, helping batyr reach and support almost 500,000 young people through its preventative mental health programs and workshops. Funds raised through the Blue Tie Ball will help batyr empower more young people across Australia with life-changing mental health education and stories of hope, supporting efforts to prevent mental health challenges from escalating.
Guests will enjoy a premium sit-down dinner and drinks, high-value auctions and raffles, inspiring speakers, and standout entertainment, creating an evening that combines fundraising with celebration and connection.
