Light of Hope 2025 – Mentone Life Saving Club
Join us on World Pancreatic Cancer Day - Thursday, 20 November 2025, as we gather by the bay for Light of Hope, Dare to Hope’s signature community event honouring those affected by pancreatic cancer.
As buildings around the world light up purple to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer, we invite you to come together with others who care about the impact of pancreatic cancer.
Held at the beautiful Mentone Life Saving Club, this evening of reflection, connection, and hope brings together families, friends, and supporters in solidarity as we shine a light at sunset for those we love and those we’ve lost.
The event will include:- Guest Speakers Dr Michael Lee, oncologist and researcher at Peter Mac, Cherie Dear CEO Dare to Hope and others,
- moments of reflection,
- and Live Music to lift the spirits — including a special performance by the Royal Melbourne Hospital Scrub Choir, whose uplifting harmonies have captured hearts across Australia, and local singer-songwriter Georgie Russell, whose soulful voice will help set a tone of warmth and togetherness.
Please RSVP via the link provided for catering purposes to assist the Club with numbers.
Together, we’ll light the shoreline in purple — a symbol of courage, compassion, and hope — as we continue our mission to transform outcomes for people facing pancreatic cancer.
Free community event – all welcome
Join us as we stand united in light and hope.
