About

The Forget Me Not Ball was created by a group of young locals who have watched dementia impact their loved ones — parents
grandparents, friends. It’s a night to honour those affected, raise vital funds for research, and ensure that more minutes are spent making memories that matter.

Fundraising

Over the past three Forget Me Not Balls, we have raised $186,000, establishing the Forget Me Not Geelong Dementia Fund at the Barwon Health Foundation. Every cent raised goes directly to supporting dementia research and clinical trials in Geelong, in partnership with Barwon Health and Deakin University.

You can help us make a difference.

Donate

In 2026, it’s estimated that around 455,000 Australians are living with dementia. Add to this number the families supporting loved ones with dementia, and the impact is enormous. Can’t make the Ball this year? You can still make a difference with a small donation today.
