Australian Pituitary Foundation’s Inaugural Masquerade Gala Ball

Includes canapes on arrival, 3-course dinner, beer wine and soft drinks.

Join us to celebrate 30 years of supporting patients and families affected by pituitary conditions at the Australian Pituitary Foundation’s Inaugural Masquerade Gala Ball. This elegant evening will be filled with entertainment, exquisite dining, and the opportunity to connect with others who share a passion for making a difference.

The masquerade theme reflects the nature of pituitary conditions, which are often masked by other symptoms, making diagnosis a challenging journey. By raising awareness, we aim to unveil the mysteries surrounding these conditions and bring them to light.

All proceeds from the night will go towards the establishment of a dedicated nurse helpline, providing vital support and information to those navigating the challenges of pituitary conditions. Dress to impress and don your most captivating mask for a night of connection and community. Your presence and generosity will help us continue our mission to increase awareness, and provide valuable support and information, for patients living with pituitary conditions, and their families.
