Brain cancer can have a devastating impact on children, young people, and their families. Research and support are important in improving outcomes and helping advance understanding of the disease.

The Robert Connor Dawes Foundation supports young people with brain cancer by funding research, care, and development projects. Through its work, the Foundation aims to improve outcomes for young people affected by brain cancer and support their families.

To help support this work, Brainy Ball 2027 will take place on Saturday, May 22, 2027, at The Plaza Ballroom in Melbourne. The black-tie fundraising event will bring supporters together for an evening of celebration, connection, and fundraising in support of young people affected by brain cancer.

Join here for Brainy Ball 2027 on May 22 in Melbourne and support the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation.
