SOMERSET Regional Council is now accepting sponsorship expressions of interest for the 2025 Mayoral Gala Charity Ball.

Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt said the biannual Mayoral Gala Charity Ball raised money to assist Somerset residents.

“The funds we have raised over the years have supported community groups which in turn support people facing homelessness, abuse, mental illness, food insecurity and disability,” Cr Wendt said.

“Through this event people can make a huge difference in our community, while enjoying a great night out.”

The new sponsorship model includes platinum, gold and silver sponsor options, with the opportunity for platinum sponsors to attend a cocktail party prior to the official ball alongside the Mayor, Councillors and VIPs.

Cr Wendt encouraged businesses to get involved and enquire about sponsorship.

“We need your business’ support to make this event possible and to support Somerset’s most vulnerable people,” Cr Wendt said.

“It is also a great opportunity to make valuable connections and network with like-minded individuals.”

The ball will be held at the Somerset Civic Centre in Esk on Saturday, 13 September 2025 with the theme ‘Masquerade’, creating an air of mystery and sophistication for Cr Wendt’s first ball as Mayor.

“We look forward to seeing attendees donning elegant attire and ornate masks,” Cr Wendt said.

“We will have themed décor and performances, creating an immersive atmosphere of glamour and intrigue.

“It will be a great night for all involved, and we look forward to seeing everyone on the dancefloor.”
