 The Pyjama Foundation 1st Annual Blue Jeans and Black Tie Gala

It’s a night of country-style glamour at The Pyjama Foundation 1st Annual Blue Jeans and Black Tie Charity Gala.

Greeted on arrival by a stockman and his horse, you and your guests will walk the red carpet to pre-dinner drinks on the deck overlooking the Victoria Park Golf Course and Brisbane city skyline.

Browse and bid on silent auction items and take your turn on the Bucking Bull ride. Can you stay on the longest?

Coinciding with Brisbane’s Royal Exhibition, guests will also be treated to a fantastic view of the Ekka fireworks.
And that’s just pre-dinner drinks.

The event is co-hosted by Reds Captain and Reading Ambassador James Horwill and Greg “Marto” Martin from Triple M’s The Cage.

Join us as we award The Pyjama Foundation 2010 Pyjama Angel of the Year - our volunteer of the year, and enjoy a special guest performance by Reading Ambassador Emily Williams from Young Divas.

Better than your average barn dance, this is a great excuse to don your jeans, dig out your black tie and enjoy an evening of fun and frivolity – and all for a great cause!

Proceeds from the event will support The Pyjama Foundation Love of Learning Program, a literacy-based mentoring program for children in care.
