The honourable Hotels Have Hearts Committee continue their dogged support of St Vincent de Paul, announcing the upcoming Hotels Have Hearts (HHH) gala dinner for 2026.
Returning after two years, the 2026 HHH gala dinner will take place Wednesday, 29 April 2026, from 6pm at The Fullerton Hotel Sydney.
HHH raises funds for its charity partner, the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW, helping people experiencing homelessness find stability, safety and connection.
The ABS reports more than 122k people are homeless in Australia on any given night, with almost one quarter children and young adults aged 12-24.
The evening typically assembles more than 650 hoteliers, publicans and senior hospitality executives from across NSW, with continued support from the AHA (NSW) it is a “fantastic opportunity for the industry to come together in support” of a worthy cause.
The organisation was founded in 2001 by a group of conscientious hoteliers, with the first gala dinner taking place in 2002.
Going from strength to strength, the event raised record-breaking totals in 2014, 2016 and 2018 before a pandemic-induced interruption in 2020 and 2022.
But in 2024 the initiative had a triumphant return, raising another record figure of $850k, bringing the total funds donated through Hotels Have Hearts to more than $5.5 million.
“Giving back to those who are vulnerable is not just an act of charity, but a profound expression of our shared humanity,” offered HHH Chairman Kim Maloney OAM.
Tickets are on sale now for $285 (+gst) and available HERE.
“Together, the hotel industry and its supporters will once again come together to share a beautiful evening of connection, generosity and purpose, knowing that every ticket purchased helps provide safety, support and hope to those who need it most.”
