The Bus Stop Ball brought together 300 incredible supporters, industry leaders, artists, advocates, and friends for a truly unforgettable evening celebrating inclusion in the screen industry. A night of fun and fundraising, helping us to continue our life changing programs, with over $100,000 raised. Heart felt speeches, amazing auctions, standing ovations and electric performances. It was an evening full of unforgettable moments.

In the ICC’s stunning Parkside Ballroom, expertly decorated Hollywood style by Ballooncini, the gala was hosted by the dynamic Richard Wilkins, AM. Bus Stop Films Chairman Peter Tonagh gave a heartfelt speech on the impact of the Ball. Auctioneer Vic Lorusso showed us the money, while a surprise performance from magician Jackson Aces wowed the crowd. The incredible Kat Hoyos set the dancefloor alight, before DJ Adam Katz brought Hollywood home with thumping tunes which had everyone wanting the night to never end. The Bus Stop community truly knows how to party.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, performed, and helped to make the night such a success. Your support will directly help create more opportunities through Bus Stop Films and Bus Stop Employment. We're already counting down the days until the Bus Stop Ball returns in 2027.
