Hawaii comes to Campbelltown for the Mayor’s Charity Gala Dinner
Published on 24 April 2026
The Mayor’s Charity Gala Dinner is set to return in 2026, bringing a touch of the tropics to Campbelltown with a vibrant Hawaiian-themed evening on Saturday 8 August at Ottimo House.
Residents, local businesses and community members are invited to enjoy an unforgettable night with the music of iconic bands, live entertainment, delicious food and community connection, inspired by the spirit of Hawaiian luaus and a tropical paradise.
The 2026 Mayor’s Charity Gala Dinner proceeds will support local charity, The Blue Butterfly Institute. This volunteer organisation provides vital care, support and advocacy for victims and survivors of sexual trauma.
The funds raised on the night will go towards expanding the organisations services, as well as supporting access to expert-led education, training and community learning opportunities.
“Each year, the Mayor’s Charity Gala Dinner brings our community together in support of an organisation making a genuine impact,” Mayor Darcy Lound said.
“It is an honour to support the vital work of our local charity organisations, many of which are driven by dedicated volunteers who generously give their time to help others in our community.”
“This year’s recipient, The Blue Butterfly Institute, works tirelessly to support people navigating challenging times, ensuring they feel heard, valued and supported. Through connection, guidance and advocacy, they make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those they support,” Cr Lound said.
“I know our community will get behind this great cause and enjoy an evening that promises to be a memorable one filled with live music and chances to win some fantastic prizes,” Cr Lound said.
“I invite everyone to join us at this year’s event and considering sponsoring the event or buying a ticket.” Cr Lound said.
Founder of The Blue Butterfly Institute, Tina Meyer, said being selected as this year’s fundraising recipient would make a meaningful difference to the organisation’s work.
“The support of Mayor Lound and Campbelltown Council ensure that The Blue Butterfly Institute and its volunteers can continue to provide therapeutic services and education and training regarding the impact of trauma to the broader community, enabling significant change in people's lives." Ms Meyer said.
