POSH 2026 – A night to remember
Cancer Council's POSH 2026 Gala Ball was held on Saturday 9th May 2026 in the Grand Ballroom of The Fullerton Hotel, Sydney.
The event once again brought together an incredible community for an unforgettable evening. This year’s vibrant Moroccan-themed event transformed the space into a colourful, immersive experience filled with rich décor, lively entertainment, and a warm, festive atmosphere.
Guests embraced the spirit of the night, enjoying great company, delicious food, and plenty of fun along the way. The energy in the room was truly special, making it one of our most memorable events to date.
We are also delighted to share that the event raised significant funds in support of our cause. While final fundraising totals are still being tallied, early indications point to a fantastic result, and we are deeply grateful for the generosity and support shown by everyone involved.
A huge thank you to all who attended, contributed, and helped bring POSH 2026 to life - we look forward to seeing you again next year!
