The Sydney Chocolate Ball returns in 2026 for a truly landmark celebration, the 15th Annual Sydney Chocolate Ball. This iconic event will return to the Sydney Event Centre on Saturday 24 October 2026.

Our theme and message for this year’s event is Mission Possible. FSHD Global Research Foundation is a leading international funder and patient advocacy organisation, driving research, clinical-trial readiness and global collaboration to accelerate the development of treatments and to achieve our ultimate mission to cure FSHD. With clinical trials now underway in Australia and more on the horizon, this impossible mission becomes possible.

The Sydney Chocolate Ball offers a night like no other, where luxury meets purpose, bringing together a full house of the echelon of corporate, philanthropic and entertainment sectors at the Sydney Event Centre. This iconic event brings together over 500 influential guests for an unforgettable evening of indulgence, storytelling and philanthropy.

I invite you to consider how you might like to be involved — by hosting a table, making a donation, volunteering your time or donating a prize to support our fundraising initiatives on the night.

Tickets are now on sale with further details available at www.sydneychocolateball.com.au.

Incredibly proud to have produced another hugely successful Sydney Chocolate Ball!

✨ World breaking record for FSHD! ✨

On Saturday, 15th November, the 14th Annual Sydney Chocolate Ball raised over $1.9 Million for families living with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy. This is a world record fundraising event for FSHD! 🍫

Every dollar will be directly funding critical paediatric research and advocacy. This year's Ball carried a particularly important mission and there are still opportunities available to support life-changing therapies for children with FSHD in the relentless search for a cure. 🧡

A heartfelt thank you goes to Patrons Jamie Durie OAM and Luke Mangan OAM, our sponsors, prize donors, guests, supporters, and volunteers for making this event truly unforgettable. 🧡

The Sydney Chocolate Ball will return in 2026! Register your interest today to ensure you will be on the guest list. 🍫
