- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 am
- **Event Description**: DOORS WILL OPEN AT 5:30PM WITH GUESTS TO BE SEATED BY 6:15PM

We hope you will be able to join us for a great night of entertainment, food, wine and an auction, so that the Foundation can continue to fund world-class medical research right here in Otago.

We are delighted to announce our fantastic entertainment lineup. We are privileged to have the wonderful Jonathan Usher as our MC. Jonathan will be known to many of you not only as an incredible entertainer but as a supporter of a range of charities such as the OMRF. Jonathan will also provide some fabulous entertainment throughout the night.

Our headline speaker is Hilary Barry! Hilary has graced our televisions across Aotearoa since 2016, but now she is joining us at the 2026 OMRF Gala. Not only will Hilary be sharing some hilarious stories with us, she’s even agreed to be a “willing” participant for some of MC Jonathan Usher's magic tricks (so long as she’s not sawn in half apparently!).

We have also secured the incredible LA Social as our band for the evening. For those of you who have been to any events with LA Social before, you will know that as soon as they play their first note, the dance floor is full, so we are excited to have booked them with their busy schedule.

What a night! Hilary Barry as our headline speaker, magician and MC extraordinaire Jonathan Usher as our MC, and LA Social as our fantastic band. Combine this with delicious food and wine, dancing, mingling and an auction at the stunning Dunedin Town Hall…would you want to be anywhere else?
