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 two years the Forget Me Not Ball has raised over $125,000, 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 2025, it’s estimated that around 433,300 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.

This year the theme is Palm Royale, inspired by the hit Apple TV series, transporting guests to the glamorous, sun soaked world of 1960’s Palm Beach…all for a cause that matters deeply. 

Tickets include yummy food, champagne on arrival, cocktails, beer, wine, softies, live music, entertainment, games + surprises.
