CareFlight collaborates closely with government and community partners to enhance patient outcomes for Territorians, particularly in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
CareFlight’s 007 Hangar Ball Raises Over $230,000 for Lifesaving Services in the Top End
A transformed aircraft hangar, a sold-out crowd, and over $230,000 raised in a single unforgettable evening—CareFlight’s 2025 Hangar Ball has delivered remarkable support for aeromedical services across the Northern Territory.
Held in Darwin on Saturday, the James Bond-themed gala welcomed more than 450 guests for an evening of elegance, generosity, and community engagement. From an exciting live auction and the popular Lock and Key game to themed cocktails and an in-room raffle, every aspect of the event was designed to entertain while raising critical funds for CareFlight’s vital mission.
The generosity displayed by our community at the Hangar Ball is truly inspiring,” said Arani Duggan, General Manager of Fundraising and Community Engagement. “Every dollar raised contributes to our mission of providing rapid-response medical care to patients in urgent need, wherever they are.
Funds from the evening will support CareFlight’s efforts to deliver hospital-level care to patients in remote communities, advance clinical education and training, and ensure specialist medical teams can respond swiftly in some of Australia’s most challenging environments.
CareFlight has served the Northern Territory since 2007, operating the Top End Medical Retrieval Service on behalf of the Northern Territory Government. More than 90% of transported patients are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander individuals, highlighting the essential role CareFlight plays in expanding emergency care access across the region.
“This event was about more than just fundraising—it was about coming together in support of a cause that truly matters,” added Arani Duggan. “Those who attended, donated, and volunteered helped make a meaningful difference for Territorians who may one day need urgent medical assistance.”
I have attached a video and few pictures of the event I took that I would like to share regarding this event.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
