Cancer Council Tasmania's Sparkle for Hope Gala Ball will be held at Launceston's Hotel Grand Chancellor on Saturday, August 3.
Previously known as the Think Pink Gala Ball, the event helps raise awareness and funds to support Tasmanians dealing with cancer through advocacy, prevention, support and research.
Cancer Council Tasmania chief executive Penny Egan said this year's event would focus on the theme "all cancers, all ages" and welcome new initiatives including a Lasting Legacy.
"This enables the winning bidder to name a research award in recognition of the vital Tasmanian research that is helping to improve cancer outcomes," she said.
"The research award can carry your name, your organisation's name or be named in honour of someone your care deeply about."
The Minx Cabaret Company will also perform. For tickets, visit trybooking.com.
