This year we bring you the theme “A Night at the Colosseum” where the Grand Ballroom at Burswood Entertainment Complex will be transformed into a spectacular Roman amphitheatre presenting guests with an enchanting night of fine dining, wine and entertainment.

Youth Focus’ “Night of Nights” Ball has been acclaimed as one of the top ten social events in Perth. Every year the Ball raises critical funds to assist Youth Focus in the continuation of our services to an increasing number of young people and their families who are dealing with suicidal ideation, depression and self harm.

We look forward to your support of this major fundraising event and invite you to purchase a table at our “Night of Nights” Ball.
