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!

Doors Open 6:30pm - Event Starts 7pm - Saturday 2nd August at Forum North, Whangarei
