There are dinners that delight, and then there are nights that move us, reminding us of what matters and why we gather at all. Reach For A Dream Foundation is hosting the highly anticipated Night of Dreams Gala Dinner, taking place on Saturday, 26 July 2025, in partnership with Dineplan at Cape Town’s iconic Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel.
This elegant, impactful evening will bring together compassionate individuals, corporate partners, and community leaders in celebration of hope, generosity, and the unbreakable spirit of children fighting life-threatening illnesses.
For 36 years, Reach For A Dream continues to bring hope, joy and courage to children diagnosed with severe illnesses, such as leukaemia, cancer, and organ failure, by fulfilling their wishes when their tomorrow feels so uncertain. The Night of Dreams Gala Dinner is one of the Foundation’s most vital annual fundraisers, helping to turn dreams into life-changing experiences for children across South Africa.
This year, Reach For A Dream partnered with Dineplan as its official booking platform, providing a seamless and user-friendly interface for supporters looking to secure seats or tables ahead of an unforgettable evening. Set in the grand Mount Nelson Ballroom, guests will enjoy a three-course fine dining experience by Chef Liam Tomlin, a long-time supporter of the Foundation. With Graeme Richards as host and Marc Lottering entertaining with comedy, the evening will stir storytelling and touching moments to highlight the impact of a dream fulfilled.
The Night of Dreams Gala Dinner is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together. It’s a moment to stand together in hope and honour the courage of children facing life-threatening illnesses. Because dreams matter, especially when they bring light and courage to those who need it most.
Tickets are R2,000 per person and available to book via Dineplan. Join us on 26 July and be part of something truly meaningful, helping to bring hopeful dreams within reach.

About Reach For A Dream
Reach For A Dream is a South African non-profit organisation that, since 1988, has been dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of children aged 3 to 18 who are battling life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, kidney failure, and heart conditions.
When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, their world often becomes filled with hospital visits, medication, and uncertainty. Reach For A Dream steps in to bring hope, joy, and light into their lives by making their greatest dreams come true. Whether it’s a room makeover, getting a gaming console, or becoming a firefighter for a day, we make it happen. From individual dream experiences to national initiatives like Dream Rooms, the Laughter Hero Programme, and Slipper Day, the Foundation brings joy, dignity, and hope when it’s needed most.
