The Annual Black Tie 2025

Join us for a powerful night of connection, impact and change in support of men’s mental health and suicide prevention.

This year’s black-tie charity event features acclaimed keynote speaker Matt Brown – internationally respected author, barber, and founder of the global anti-violence movement She Is Not Your Rehab.

Matt’s raw and deeply personal story of healing, identity and breaking intergenerational cycles of abuse has inspired thousands. His work is a rallying cry for men to show up, speak out and do the inner work that ripples outward into whānau and community.

Your ticket includes entry to the event, a drink on arrival, a full-course dinner, and the rare opportunity to hear Matt speak live, followed by an audience Q&A session.

You’ll also go in the draw to win exclusive prizes on the night – all while backing a local charity doing real work to support men in crisis and help them find a better way forward.

This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a night to change the narrative!
