The Hope Gala Dinner is the major fundraising event on the Teen Challenge calendar. In 2023 Bentham Foundation and Well Life Services are the proud platinum partners of TCQ’s ninth annual Hope Gala on Saturday 3 June at Brisbane City Hall.
This is a fun filled night with a delicious three course meal, live entertainment from LURE band, stories of transformed lives, dancing, and a live and silent auction.
Together we are hoping to raise $250,000 which will contribute to supporting 41 people completing the Recover phase* of the rehabilitation program. (*Phase 1 of the 12 month program)

Ben’s Story (Father)
Before I went to Teen Challenge QLD (TCQ), my life was a catastrophe. It was defined by addiction and depression. I had been addicted to heroin for ten years, was severely depressed and heavily medicated. My family life was shattered. My time in Teen Challenge gave me a new mindset and the skills needed to make lasting change. I learnt how to live free.
Dom’s Story (Son)
My life was full of challenges. I experienced things no child should have to. Addiction and dysfunction marked my family. I remember the day when I was 10 when I walked in on Dad injecting heroin. When I was 13 he attempted suicide. My constant thought was that I wasn’t good enough to make Dad happy. Things changed when Dad went to rehab, but my own life was unravelling. I felt like I came from nothing, but now my broken pieces have been put back together and God is using my story to help being freedom to others.
