Healthy pregnancies and safe births depend on access to expert medical care, innovative research, and compassionate support for mothers, babies, and their families. Continued investment in maternal and neonatal healthcare helps improve outcomes and gives more families the opportunity to begin their journeys together safely.
Mercy Health Foundation is celebrating 20 years of supporting life-changing healthcare while also marking 10 years of Mercy Perinatal, a leader in specialist care for mothers and babies. Through fundraising and community support, the Foundation helps advance world-class clinical care, research, and innovation that improves maternal and newborn health. To commemorate these milestones, the Foundation is hosting a special anniversary celebration.
The Mercy Health Foundation 20th Anniversary Gala Ball 2026 will take place on Saturday, 12 September 2026, at the Main Hall of Melbourne Town Hall. This elegant black-tie event will bring together supporters, clinicians, researchers, and grateful families to celebrate two decades of generosity and a decade of excellence in perinatal care.
Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, live entertainment by the Baker Boys Band, conversations with Mercy Perinatal clinicians, live and silent auctions, raffle prizes, and an inspiring evening dedicated to advancing healthcare. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the black-tie dress code with a touch of gold to mark the celebration. Every dollar raised will directly support Mercy Perinatal, helping fund the next generation of life-changing care and research with the goal of bringing every mother and baby home safely.
Reserve your place here to celebrate two decades of impact while helping provide safer pregnancies, healthier babies, and brighter futures for families.
