STEPS Grand Winter Ball 2026

Held at the Sunshine Coast Function Centre, the enchanting winter soirée combines fine dining, live entertainment and heartfelt storytelling, all in support of STEPS Pathways College — a vital program helping young adults with disability and autism build independence and life skills.

Make dreams come true this winter.

Guests will enjoy a decadent three‑course meal featuring award‑winning Kilcoy premium beef, a deluxe 5.5‑hour beverage package with Tahbilk wines, live and silent auctions, and standout performances from the Sunshine Coast Troupe, a live band, and Marshall Hamburger, winner of Australian Idol. The evening will also feature inspiring stories from STEPS students, highlighting the real impact of the support raised on the night.

Adding to the occasion, Melissa Doyle AM — long‑time supporter and official STEPS Pathways College Ambassador — will return as special guest for the 2026 Ball.

From inspiring student stories to heartfelt speeches and a powerful sense of community and shared purpose, the Grand Winter Ball promises to be a meaningful celebration of what we can achieve when we come together.
