Recently, Breakthru had the incredible privilege to host our Second Inaugural Gala for our clients, family members and carers! The night was a beautiful reminder of how, once again, our community came together celebrating, supporting one another, and creating unforgettable memories. Thanks to the generous donation from the late Wayne Ridge, our clients had the opportunity to enjoy another spectacular evening. Wayne’s spirit of kindness, joy, and love for a good party continues to bring us all together, and we are forever grateful.
This year’s Gala was even bigger than last year, with clients and staff pulling out all the stops in their fashion, makeup, and styling. There was a buzz of excitement leading up to the night—shopping trips, salon visits, and plenty of outfit planning. For some of our clients this was their first time experiencing a formal event. Everyone embraced the magic of the night and before they knew it, they found themselves on the dance floor.
As soon as the music started, the dance floor was on fire! With the beats provided by our very own talented DJ - DJ Lucky - the energy continued well into the night.
Here's just some of the feedback from our clients and attendees on the night:
-
Peter: "I had a great time, and the food was amazing."
-
Mary-Rose: "It was a good night, and I had a lot of fun dancing. It was very good."
-
Delinda: "I enjoyed the Gala night, especially the music, and can’t wait for the next one. I will need a new dress, though!"
-
John: "I had a good time at the Gala. I was so happy to see so many people in one place—it reminds me of my younger days when I used to go out clubbing."
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this night unforgettable:
-
Wayne Ridge: For his generous donation that continues to bring joy to our community.
-
Support Workers and Service Managers: For their dedication in assisting clients with styling, preparation, and encouragement on the dance floor.
-
The Social Committee: For organizing such a fantastic event.
-
Wenty Leagues Club: For providing a beautiful venue and delicious food.
-
DJ Lucky: For keeping the party alive with incredible music and bottomless energy
The smiles, laughter, and cherished moments from the Gala are certainly moments we will never forget. Now, it's back to the drawing board to plan our third inaugural Gala, which we hope will be even bigger and better in 2026!
