WHAT THE BALL IS ABOUT

- The Ball is about having a great night out, meeting new people and celebrating our local community, while also raising money for an important local cause.
- We’re really passionate about making sure funds raised have a direct impact in our community.
2026 DONATION – HIGHWAY TO WELL
- This year, the Sapphire Social Committee has partnered with Highway to Well.
- Highway to Well is a local business providing mental health education and training, counselling services, and consulting around people and culture, workplace wellbeing and psychosocial risk.
- Funds raised through this year’s Ball will support the delivery of mental health services within the Inverell community.
- The focus is on making one-on-one mental health support more accessible to people experiencing the challenges that can come with rural life, including drought, financial pressures, isolation and other difficult circumstances.
- The Committee believes accessible mental health support is particularly important in rural communities
GUEST SPEAKER – LETITIA CROSS
- We’re also excited to welcome Letitia Cross as our guest speaker.
- Letitia has a lifelong connection to rural Australia and brings together experience in agriculture, business leadership and mental health.
- She is passionate about strengthening mental health and wellbeing in rural and remote communities.
- Her message focuses on resilience, connection and looking after the people around us.
