batyr's Blue Tie Ball

Last year's ball raised a record breaking $337,691 helping over 11,200 young people go through batyr’s preventative education programs in schools and universities. As we celebrate our 10th Blue Tie Ball this year, we are aiming even higher to ensure we’re able to plant seeds of hope for as many young people as possible.

There’ll be plenty of opportunities to score an incredible prize! Take a chance on our mystery wine wall, make a pledge of support, place your bids in our auction, or purchase raffle tickets.

You will also hear from one of batyr’s storytellers, a young person who shares their experience overcoming mental ill-health at our preventative school and university programs. Their inspiring and heartfelt narrative will resonate with you long after the night ends.

Every dollar raised at the Blue Tie Ball supports batyr’s critical school and university programs, which empower young Australians with mental health literacy, reduce stigma surrounding mental illness, and increase help-seeking behaviour. 

We’ve reached and supported more than 400,000 young people with the skills and confidence to reach out for support during tough times, but there are still so many young lives at risk. 

With over $1.5 million raised by 5000+ Blue Tie Ball attendees across the last decade, we'll be looking back at some of our favourite moments from past balls, and planting even more seeds of hope for young people across Australia.

Our previous Blue Tie Balls have had an incredible line-up of special guests, from Layne Beachley to Ian Thorpe - don't miss your chance to celebrate a decade of incredible impact and help us continue our mission of growing a mentally healthy Australia for young people and their communities. This is an 18-year-old and older event.
