Lutheran Care’s 2025 Gala Dinner is fast approaching, and we are thrilled to announce that LLL Australia has again thrown their incredible support behind this important fundraising event as our exclusive Presenting Partner. 

Lutheran Care is grateful for this ongoing support from LLL, which was also the major sponsor for the 2023 Gala Dinner. This sponsorship was integral in helping us raise close to $200,000 for South Australians experiencing crisis and hardship at that game-changing event. 

This year’s event is set to be another blockbuster party with a purpose, and we cannot wait to see how many lives we can change with LLL’s support at the iconic Adelaide Oval on Saturday, 24 May. 

It’s going to be a fabulous night out for our guests, who will enjoy an evening of fine food and beverages, premium South Australian wine, live music and – of course, opportunities to make a difference to families doing it tough – with proceedings led by our dynamic MC, media personality Brenton Ragless. 

Lutheran Care Chief Executive Officer Rohan Feegrade is delighted to announce that LLL will once again stand alongside us as the Presenting Partner for the 2025 Gala Dinner, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to changing lives and strengthening communities.  

“We are incredibly grateful for LLL’s generous and ongoing support. Their dedication to empowering vulnerable individuals and families goes beyond words—they actively invest in meaningful change through their support of charitable initiatives,” says Mr Feegrade. 

“Lutheran Care and LLL share a deep connection, both through our Lutheran roots and our shared commitment to helping those in need.  

“Since our founding in 1969 by a group of visionary Lutheran women, gifts of all sizes have been instrumental in growing our services and support to communities across South Australia and the Northern Territory. 

“Thank you very much to the LLL team – and also to their generous members, who share this ethos of doing good for others.” 

LLL Australia’s Marketing Manager, Rhianan Strangways, is proud that LLL has been supporting Lutheran Care since its first major event held in 2019. 

“Supporting fellow missionally-focused organisations is at the heart of our purpose at LLL,” Ms Strangways explains. 

“We could not help but be inspired, uplifted and impressed at how well-organised and generously supported the last Lutheran Care Gala Dinner was,” she says. 

“It is our great desire to build on that success at this Gala Dinner to maximise fund-raising efforts and further strengthen our relationship with Lutheran Care. 

“We were delighted to support Lutheran Care’s Gala Dinner as the Major Sponsor for the second event. In fact, LLL has proudly sponsored these well-attended events since the inaugural ‘party with a purpose’ in 2019. It has been incredible to witness the Gala Dinner’s growth, raising vital funds to support Lutheran Care’s mission and positively impact our wider community.”

“The 2025 Gala Dinner is our flagship fundraising event held only once every two years and would not be possible without the vital backing of corporate partners like LLL,” Mr Feegrade says.

“We are incredibly grateful to the team at LLL for standing with us, not just as sponsors, but as true partners in this vital mission.”

Lutheran Care’s Head of Philanthropy, Sandy Davis, added, “We are so grateful to all our corporate partners and donors who directly assist our work in providing life-changing support to thousands of individuals and families in crisis”. 

“At a time when financial hardship is impacting so many, LLL’s generosity as Presenting Partner and hands-on support volunteering in our Op Shops and lending a helping hand on the night at the Gala Dinner, mean more than ever,” Ms Davis says.  

Established in 1921, LLL provides simple-to-operate investment products with no fees and charges.  

“LLL Australia is a demonstration of the incredible power of people, united in faith, working together towards a common purpose – to transform money into a force for good,” Ms Strangway shares. 

“LLL’s strong relationships with Lutheran entities, including Lutheran Care, are critically important to our mission,” she adds. 

“By maintaining and working to further strengthen our relationship, we amplify the impact of both our organisations as we work together in pursuit of our shared missional goals to grow and support robust communities where everyone is given a chance to prosper.”
