The Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation was created in 2013 in the memory of Robert ‘Connor’ Dawes. Connor was diagnosed with an ependymoma at the age of 17. He fought a tough battle against poor odds and, sadly, on April 20th, 2013 he lost his battle.
Inspired by his spirit of Aeternum Fortis, meaning Eternal Strength, his mother Ms Liz Dawes (OAM and Director the RCD Foundation) created the RCD Foundation. The Foundation is a tribute to him and other brain tumour fighters. The money raised supports impactful research as well as care and development for young people with brain cancer.
On Friday the 26th of May, 2023 the RCD Foundation held their first “Brainy Ball” to commemorate ten years supporting young people with brain cancer. On the evening over $280,000 was raised and post-event, attendees signed up to support 5-year RCD projects- AMAZING!
Medical Sphere were honoured to be involved in the event management including dealing with caterers, venue, entertainers, stylers, audio and visual (AV) as well as budget management and presentation support.

Testimonial
Emily from Medical Sphere, played a pivotal role in coordinating our recent charity gala ball. From start to finish, Emily’s exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication made our event a tremendous success.
As the coordinator, Emily went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the ball was flawlessly executed. She liaised with the venue, suppliers and volunteers, leaving no stone unturned, as well as chaired the committee meetings in the lead up to the ball. Emily’s ability to communicate effectively and negotiate with different parties ensured that all our requirements were met within budget and on time.
Throughout the entire journey, Emily remained attentive and responsive to our needs. Nothing was ever too much trouble. She handled unexpected challenges, with grace and problem-solving expertise, always offering practical solutions.
I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking to organise a similar event. Her expertise, passion, and unwavering dedication make her an invaluable asset.
