Forget Me Not Ball
The Forget Me Not Ball was created by a group of passionate locals who have witnessed the impact of dementia on the people they love — parents, grandparents and friends. More than just a gala, it’s a night to honour those affected, raise vital funds for dementia research, and help ensure more moments are spent making memories that matter.Join us on 15 August from 7pm at the stunning Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre for a Palm Royale-themed evening of glamour, entertainment and purpose, as we come together to create hope for the future.

Our Story
Monday 22nd Jun
It all began with a series of somber conversations—too frequent, and sadly all too familiar.
In late 2023, a group of Geelong locals found themselves quietly connecting over a shared reality: someone they loved was living with, or had been lost to, dementia. These conversations, though informal, revealed a common experience that brought ten strangers together.
What followed was a thoughtful collaboration. With diverse skills and a shared purpose, the committee came together to create the Forget Me Not Ball—an event dedicated to raising funds for dementia research and increasing awareness within the broader community.
Above all, the goal is to stand with others affected by dementia, and to ensure the stories of their loved ones are honoured, remembered, and never forgotten.
Great cause
