$32,544 Raised for MOB HQ at GC Fundraising Ball 2025

Over $32,000 Raised for MOB HQ at GC Fundraising Ball 2025

This week, we were honoured to receive a $32,544.91 donation from the incredible team behind the GC Fundraising Ball – a powerful reminder of what happens when community, purpose, and generosity come together.

Kyla and Beric Lynton, along with event partners Roy Friend and Jonathan Lee, visited MOB Academy to present the cheque in person. But they didn’t just bring a donation. In true MOB fashion, they joined one of our MOB Life sessions – a space where we unpack identity, mindset, and the kind of tools our young men need for life beyond school.

“Even at 75, you need goals.”
“Financial advice isn’t just about money – it’s about freedom.”

These were just a few of the reflections shared during the session. The group spoke candidly about failure, success, self-worth, and growth – sparking real conversations with our students about what it means to step into manhood on your own terms.

Beric has been a long-time supporter of MOB and spoke about why he keeps showing up: because he’s seen the impact firsthand. Because he knows what this place can do for boys who are ready for change.

The funds raised at the GC Fundraising Ball will go directly towards the construction of our new MOB HQ – a purpose-built campus for 450 young men in Years 7–12. A home base for structure, safety, learning, and growth. A place to belong.

We’re so grateful to every person who attended the ball, donated, volunteered, or backed the cause behind the scenes. This donation isn’t just a number – it’s a future.

Thank you 🖤
