On Friday 4 April, the atmosphere at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre was filled with joy, laughter, and a profound sense of togetherness during Micah Projects’ 18th Moonlight Magic Dinner Dance. This special event brought together 600 attendees —participants, partner organisations, supporters, and locals—to celebrate the strength of an inclusive and connected community.
From the twinkling lights to the heartfelt conversations shared around the tables, every element of the evening reflected the spirit of collaboration and unity at the heart of Micah Projects.
We are grateful...
The event would not have been possible without the invaluable support of our generous sponsors, whose contributions made this magical night a reality. To them, we extend our deepest thanks for helping us create a space where people from all walks of life could come together in celebration.
