Dine For A Cure
Dine For A Cure is a Melbourne-based committee of volunteers who have all lost loved ones to brain cancer. We came together in 2011, determined to do something to raise much-needed funding.
Thanks to the help of our wonderful supporters and donors, we have raised over $1.7 million for crucial brain cancer research.

Dine For A Cure is the signature evening of the year for Melbourne's brain cancer community.
We dine, dance, and donate to raise much-needed research funds for brain cancer.
It's an elegant evening of fine food and wine, wonderful prizes, and fantastic live entertainment.
You are warmly invited to join us to support those living with brain cancer, to remember fondly those we have lost, and to raise the funds we need to find the cure.

Looking back at last year's gala...
Dine For A Cure 2024
The night sparkled with the magic of Elton John as we gathered once again in the opulence of the Plaza Ballroom. The evening started with the magnificent a cappella sound of the Melbourne Contemporary Choir singing Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. Brilliant insights into the experience and improvement of brain cancer treatment were provided through the captivating speeches of Sarah Kelly and Professor Misty Jenkins AO. Michael Richardson's lively auction set the scene for a dance floor bursting at the seams, as the Elton John Experience got us up on our feet, all the way from Bennie & the Jets to Tiny Dancer. Some beautiful guest photos are on our Facebook and Instagram page for you.
It was as always a warm evening of remembrance, hope and celebration.
We are delighted to announce that your astounding generosity enabled us to raise $128,679!
