Golden Gala Shines Bright as Variety Celebrates 50 Years of Impact

Variety – the Children’s Charity of South Australia marked a significant milestone this year, celebrating 50 years of positively impacting the lives of Australian children. The occasion was commemorated in spectacular style with the Golden Gala, held on Saturday, June 14th at the Adelaide Convention Centre, bringing together 800 passionate supporters for an unforgettable evening.

The night sparkled with generosity, community spirit, and purpose, culminating in an incredible $304,673 raised to support children who are sick, disadvantaged or living with disability. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the enduring power of community and compassion.

The evening featured dazzling entertainment including a performance by The Queen Tribute Band and dancefloor favourites The Crew. Guests were guided through the night by the talented MC Jess Adamson, with a high-energy live auction led by Bronte Manuel of TOOP + TOOP, adding excitement and purpose to the festivities.

A special thanks goes to the event sponsors who made the magic possible:
