A gala ball to raise money for the We've Got You foundation was attended by almost 200 people.
Held at Brother Fox at Deakin University, the event was a fundraiser for the foundation, which was launched by Warrnambool's Matthew and Madeline McConnell and Nirranda East's Kathryn and Jared Barkla.
It supports families experiencing the loss of a child from conception through to age sixteen.
Mrs Barkla said she was delighted with the success of the night.
"It was an amazing night," she said.
"There was so much love and support in the room from the community, family and friends."
An incredible $27,000 was raised from the night.
