Be Wise Ball 2025

On 28 June 2025, we hosted our annual Be Wise Ball—and what a fantastic night it was, full of purpose, connection and celebration.

Thank you for those who joined us. From the red carpet arrivals to the dance floor, you helped create something truly special in Pat’s memory.

We’re thrilled to share that thanks to your generosity, the event raised over $100,000 to support the Pat Cronin Foundation’s education and prevention programs, bringing us one step closer to our Mission to educate one million young Australians about the dangers of violence.

Congratulations to all of our raffle and auction winners, and a heartfelt thank you to the generous businesses who contributed prizes to make the evening possible.
