The Sydney Chocolate Ball offers a night like no other, where luxury meets purpose. Held at the iconic Sydney Event Centre, this extraordinary black-tie gala brings together leaders from the corporate, philanthropic and entertainment worlds for an evening dedicated to impact.
More than an evening of elegance, the Chocolate Ball is a powerful platform for storytelling, generosity and hope.
Hosted by television presenter and media personality Sonia Kruger, guests will enjoy a chocolate-inspired three-course menu designed by celebrity chef Luke Mangan OAM, paired with fine French champagne, premium wines and world-class entertainment, including celebrity auctioneer Robert Klaric — all while supporting the life-changing work of the FSHD Global Research Foundation.
Now in its 15th year, the Sydney Chocolate Ball has become one of Australia’s most iconic charity events, raising more than $16 million to accelerate medical research, innovation and patient advocacy.
Each year, the Ball brings together a community of generous supporters united by a shared belief that extraordinary progress is possible when people come together with purpose.
After 15 years of impact, partnership and momentum, one thing has become clear: Our Mission is Possible.
