An elegant evening of celebration, inspiration and community impact - celebrating 15 years of Smart Pups
Step into an elegant winter wonderland for the inaugural Smart Pups Winter Gala Dinner, held in the stunning Maroochy RSL Ballroom. This special evening celebrates 15 years of Smart Pups changing lives and improving the quality of life for children with special needs.
Join corporate partners, community champions and dog lovers for a night of connection, generosity and purpose. Your presence helps ensure more Australian children living with disability, medical conditions and special needs can experience safety, independence and confidence through a highly trained assistance dog.
We are proud to welcome Beau Vernon as our inspirational guest speaker. After a life-changing accident at 23 left him a quadriplegic, Beau chose to focus on possibility over limitation. Today, as a Paralympic medallist, elite adaptive athlete, father and leader, he shares a powerful message of resilience, mindset and perspective that perfectly reflects the heart of Smart Pups.
Guests will enjoy a two-course dinner, drinks, live entertainment, heartfelt stories from Smart Pups families and an exciting live auction and fundraising moments to support the breeding, training and placement of future assistance dogs.
This is more than a gala - it's a celebration of hope, inclusion and the power of dogs to change lives, one paw at a time.
