A Night to Remember: Supporting SpinalCure

A Night to Remember: Supporting SpinalCure

In a sold-out Glass Brasserie, buzzing with energy and generosity, we were thrilled to be part of an incredible evening of cricket, fine dining and award-winning wine. The event celebrated our strong partnerships while raising vital funds to advance SpinalCure’s mission.

The Spinal Cure fundraising dinner at the Sydney Hilton with special guests, former Wallaby Matt Burke and Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting.

A special highlight of the night was a conversation with cricketing icon Ricky Ponting AO, coinciding with the excitement of the 2025–26 Ashes series returning to Australia. Guests enjoyed PONTING Wines while hearing Ricky share insights from his extraordinary career, from unforgettable Ashes moments to his journey from the pitch to the vineyard.

A special thanks to Phil Harte, our Patron Sandra Sully, and host Matt Burke. It was wonderful to spend the night surrounded by corporate partners, researchers, donors and friends from our community, all genuinely connected to the cause.

We extend our gratitude to all our supporters, including Syd Cap, Frigcorp, Cactus Imaging, Oroton, M.J. Bale, Fishabout Tours, Ponting Wines, Headlands Distilling Co, Hilton Sydney, and the incredible Glass Brasserie team.

Together, we are making a difference and driving progress in spinal cord injury research.
