All eyes were on the stage as the Grand Ballroom of ICC Sydney came alive with courage, laughter, and inspiration. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the brave individuals who shared their stories, reminding us why Lifeline’s work is so critical. Your honesty and vulnerability touched every guest in the room. Guiding us through the evening with warmth and grace was our MC Davina Smith. We laughed and sang along with dinner entertainer Catherine Alcorn, bid boldly with the encouragement of our auctioneer Angus Robertson and were deeply moved by guest speaker Layne Stretton and his lived experience. To close the night, The Glassbreakers had the entire room on their feet, singing and dancing together.
