This is us
“Our mission is to support initiatives that increase awareness, advance research, and/or provide assistance to individuals living with debilitating diseases in the East Kimberley, across Australia, and globally.”
The Kununurra Black Tie Fundraiser was founded in 2022 by Brooke Smeekens and Denise Green. The idea stemmed from the loss of Denise’s father to Lung Cancer and Brooke’s mother living with Breast Cancer. The thought of raising awareness, support and vital funds for research and patients across the country heavily impacted the decision to create this meaningful event.
The Kununurra Black Tie Fundraiser supports new charities each event, sharing the awareness, funds and hope. This idea and passion has been highly successful in raising $306,293.00 in just three events thus far.
This biennial Black Tie event unites the community in ways you need to see to believe. Guests enjoy a vibrant atmosphere featuring live music, roaming canapés, and inspiring stories that highlight the meaningful causes behind the event. Throughout the evening, guests also have the opportunity to participate in both the live and silent auctions, while connecting with others and contributing to these worthy causes.
Stay tuned for the next event: June 2028
