For the last two years the Butterfly Ball has been a sell-out with over 500 guests enjoying a fabulous night. Each year over $100,000 has been raised for the RBWH Foundation. This year’s Butterfly Ball promises to be just as prestigious, exciting and glamorous!

All funds raised through the Butterfly Ball will be used by the Foundation to continue funding the much needed the five-year BRAIN Project being conducted by the Perinatal Research Centre at Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital.

A Marvellous Night for a Moondance...

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance...With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance...Neath the cover of October skies

This year’s ball will delight the senses as you start the evening with the smooth sounds of Emma Taviani who will transport you to another time and place whilst enjoying a lavish three course meal . Followed by the very special peformance by the exceptionally talented Katie Noonan and the Blackbird Sextet. The much anticipated live auction is back again, along with a silent auction, raffles and lucky door prizes to provide something for everyone. And it doesn’t stop there dance until the wee hours to one of Brisbane’s premier dance bands RUSH. This is a night that will not only entertain but having you dancing the night away.

Entertainment by Katie Noonan and The Blackbird Sextet

This year we are proud to present the smooth sounds of Katie Noonan and The Blackbird Sextet. Katie Noonan's technical mastery and pure voice make her one of Australia's most versatile and beloved vocalists. A mother, singer, producer, songwriter, pianist and business woman, this multi award winning and 5 x platinum selling songstress first received widespread praise as the angel-voiced songstress of indie-pop band George and she has since taken audiences on sublime excursions through jazz, pop and classical music. Katie has recently released a new album, The Emperor’s Box, and will share her fabulous voice with us to raise funds for a cause that this mum of two believes in.
