District 9560 is working towards an ambitious goal of US$1 million in collective giving to The Rotary Foundation during the 2026-27 Rotary year. This target will be achieved through the combined generosity of Rotarians, clubs and Foundation supporters across the district. It is not a fundraising target for the Gala Dinner itself.

The Million Dollar Foundation Gala Dinner, presented by Wellness Embodied, is planned as a landmark celebration of what we hope to achieve together. Join us at the Pullman Cairns International on Wednesday 3 March 2027 as we recognise our donors, showcase the impact of The Rotary Foundation and celebrate the district’s collective contribution.

The evening will feature Jennifer Jones, Past Rotary International President and 2026-27 Trustee Chair of The Rotary Foundation, as keynote speaker, together with welcome drinks and canapés, a gala dinner, Major Donor recognition, live entertainment and fellowship with Rotary members from across Australia.

Early Bird tickets are available for $175 per person, but only until the end of October. After the Early Bird period closes, tickets will increase to $200 per person.

Bring your partner, organise a club table and join us in Cairns for what we hope will be the celebration of an extraordinary achievement for District 9560.
