Fortitude Valley will host a unique charity ball, ‘A Night in the Doghouse,’ to raise much-needed funds and awareness for the Blackdog Institute, which advocates mental health.
This event, scheduled for 12 October, coincides with Mental Health Month and promises a night of celebration, connection, and support.
Far from a traditional charity ball, A Night in the Doghouse has a deeply personal origin. Born from a desire to express gratitude to the Blackdog Institute for their life-saving work, the event began as a small gathering and has blossomed into a major fundraising initiative, attracting over 1,000 young professionals across Sydney and Brisbane.

The organising committee emphasised that the event serves as a platform to champion the cause of mental health, foster understanding, and encourage dialogue.
A Night in the Doghouse has consistently generated over $100,000 annually for the Blackdog Institute, making it one of its largest contributors.

As Mental Health Month approaches, A Night in the Doghouse stands as a testament to the power of community and the importance of mental health research and support.
