Guided by your host and MC, actor Mark Hadlow, guests will enjoy an elegant evening of food, drink, and entertainment from supremely talented New Zealand musician, Nathan Haines.

Internationally renowned and multi-award-winning, Nathan Haines is a New Zealand saxophonist, producer, composer, vocalist, and bandleader who's been making music for over 25 years.

With silent and live auctions hosted by Michael Boulgaris throughout the evening, all proceeds from the PanCan Gala will support the Gut Cancer Foundation’s efforts to fund research, clinical trials, and awareness campaigns for pancreatic cancer.

*The PanCan Gala will be run as a COVID safe event in accordance with the latest government guidelines.
