2026 Xmas in July

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to and attended our Christmas in July fundraiser at Brighton Town Hall.

It was another action packed and memorable evening! We even made the channel 7 news! We are incredibly grateful to our amazing community for generously donating prizes, decorations, and their time. It truly takes a village, and we couldn't do it without you.

A very special thank you to our wonderful sponsors:

Yuri Peress from Py Photo for generously donating his photography services and capturing incredible memories from the night.

Visual Statements for their sensational Christmas tree decorations, which transformed the venue.

The Selfie Hub for providing the selfie booth, which was a huge hit with everyone!

Santa Melbourne/Bayside & Mrs Claus for bringing festive magic, joy, and plenty of Christmas cheer to the evening.

A big thank you to our fantastic MC, Adam from Tasman Talent, who got the crowd into the spirit of the night from the very beginning.

Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to our steering committee for all their hard work in making the event such a success:

Patricia, Tracy, Katie, Sam, Louise, Bobbie, Gabriella, Nubu and Jane. And a special thank you to Lesley, Ken, Henry, Ryan, Louis, Robbie & James for your help on the day and throughout the evening. We also extend our gratitude to David Southwick MP and his wife Hayley for their support and attendance.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who bought tickets, donated, volunteered, and supported this event. The funds raised will go towards providing ongoing emergency relief within our community, with a primary focus on supporting those experiencing domestic violence and providing food relief.

Finally, a special thank you to all of our generous trader donors for your prize and raffle donations. Your kindness and community spirit helped make the night extra special. Together, we are making a real difference. Thank you all for making Christmas in July 2026 such an incredible success!
