Together We Can. Together We Have. Together We Will.

 
This isn't just an anniversary. This is a celebration of how far we've come and the amazing community that has made it all possible. In 2025, Hands Across the Water turns 20, and we invite you to be part of a heartfelt evening that captures the spirit, stories, and people behind every milestone. An Emerald Evening will be held in Sydney, Auckland, and Bangkok — a shared moment across three countries, bringing together those who have stood beside us, supported us, and shaped the journey.

A Night to Remember

Tonight is a celebration of the moments and the people that have shaped us, and the bright futures we are creating together. From emerald-hued touches to golden light, this evening has been thoughtfully curated to honour where we’ve come from, and where we’re going. As you take your seat, you become part of something deeply personal: a night of reflection, connection and shared purpose.
