Biodiversity Australia Supports the
Canungra Black Tie Ball for Cancer Care

At Biodiversity Australia, community engagement is at the heart of our values, and we’re proud to support causes that make a difference to people’s lives. This past Saturday, we joined the Canungra community in a special night of philanthropy, camaraderie, and hope at the Canungra Black Tie Ball, held at O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards.

The event, now in its fourth year, has become a key fundraising occasion to support breast cancer awareness and the work of Canungra Community Cancer Care. Through this event, local residents affected by cancer receive the financial support they need as they undergo treatment, with funds distributed by Can Assist.

Since its inception, the ball has raised over $60,000, with an incredible $21,000 raised this year alone.

The Canungra Black Tie Ball is much more than a formal gathering; it’s a powerful reminder of what a close-knit community can accomplish when united around a common cause. Guests enjoyed an evening filled with live music, a fashion parade, dinner, raffles, and auctioned prizes. This annual event brings together a diverse group of local businesses, organisations, and residents committed to making a tangible impact.

Our support of the event runs deep. Many of our team members call the Canungra and Gold Coast areas home, and this connection drives our commitment to supporting Canungra Community Cancer Care year after year. Since the ball’s launch in 2021, Biodiversity Australia has been actively involved—whether it’s attending the event, sponsoring, or donating auction prizes. This year, we were honoured to not only secure a table at the event but to see our Managing Director, Steve Noy, volunteer as the evening’s auctioneer.

We look forward to continuing our involvement in the Canungra Black Tie Ball, knowing that together we can make a difference in the lives of individuals and families facing the challenges of cancer. At Biodiversity Australia, we’re committed to staying connected with our community, creating positive change, and supporting those in need.

If you’re based on the Gold Coast, we warmly encourage you to join next year’s Canungra Black Tie Ball—a night filled with entertainment, connection, and community support. To stay updated on the event and their ongoing fundraising efforts, be sure to follow their Facebook page here.
