About The Event
The Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation is incredibly honoured to be the charity partner of the 9th Men's Health Awareness Ball, which will be held in Adelaide for the very first time on Friday 13 November 2026 at the stunning EOS by SkyCity.
As Australia's leading voice for the prevention and early detection of bowel cancer, we know that encouraging people to take action for their health can save lives. We're proud to be part of an event that shines a spotlight on men's health and the importance of awareness, prevention and early detection.
We invite businesses and supporters to get involved by purchasing tickets and joining us for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of connection, impact and fundraising for an important cause.

Guest Speakers
Hugo Toovey
Master of Ceremonies
Hugo Toovey is an Army Major, Founder of 25 STAY ALIVE, a two-time Cancer Survivor, Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation and passionate health advocate.
If you didn’t know Hugo, you would assume that he was your typical everyday young Australian. And yes, from the outside, he appears to be exactly that. However, the last 10 years of his life has been everything BUT normal. Not only has Hugo survived both testicular cancer and bowel cancer, but he has also had ongoing battles with his mental health. Yet despite all of this, he is more determined than ever to use what he has gone through to save lives.
Through his powerful keynotes and personal story, Hugo empowers people to be proactive, embrace perspective, and make every day count.
Phil Harris
Auctioneer
Phil Harris’ career began in 2001 and over the next 20 years he established himself as one of the most successful sales agents and auctioneers in South Australia, becoming the only agent to ever be recognised as both the REISA Sales Person of the Year and the Golden Gavel Auctioneering Champion.
In 2010 he founded Harris Real Estate which quickly became one of the most recognised and progressive real estate brands in Australia where he is now regarded as one of the most highly influential thought leaders of the Australian Real Estate Industry.
Phil is passionate about both people and property and his expertise extends across a diverse variety of property.
Motel Music
Band
Motel Music are the kind of band you book when you want the party to get seriously loud. A four-piece powerhouse from Adelaide, South Australia, Motel Music have built a reputation for turning big stages into full-blown celebrations. Forget the predictable cover-band formula — this is a high-energy live show driven by huge vocals, proven anthems and four musicians who know exactly how to work a crowd.
At the front is Ash Gale (The Sundance Kids), whose dynamic tenor vocals and natural stage presence give Motel Music a genuine frontman edge. Behind him is a tight collective of session musicians, artists and producers, bringing years of professional performance experience and a serious amount of firepower to the stage.
In the last 12 months, Motel Music have performed twice at the stadium filled Adelaide Oval as half-time entertainment for Crows games, the AFL Gather Round , at the sold-out Strathalbyn Rodeo, Winter Reds Festival and as headliners at the Clare Valley Food & Wine Festival.
Danny McGinlay
Comedian
Australia’s only Three Michelin Star Comedian, Danny McGinlay has been performing stand up since the age of 16. In that time he has performed all over Australia and done stints in London, New York & the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
For those who are thinking he looks familiar, McGinlay does do regular TV appearances. He has performed on four continents, gigged for royalty, prime ministers, Arnold Schwarzenegger and most importantly, on the MCG on Grand Final day.
McGinlay made his Hollywood debut in the Nicolas Cage thriller Knowing. “I’m in the opening scene, so if you list the cast in order of appearance, I almost get top billing!”
Despite all of these achievements, he is best known for writing funny things for footballers to run through, and he is okay with this.
