All funds raised from the ball will go to the new Monash Children’s hospital donation will be made to Sydney Children’s hospital in Randwick.

The ball will become an annual event, and Sydney will host it next year.

Kidman said she didn’t think twice about supporting the event.

“I am pleased to be able to lend my support to the wonderful work of the children’s hospitals and in particular to the inaugural Celebrate life Ball,’’ she said.

“As a mum, as any parent would agree, there is nothing more important in life than the good health and happiness of your children.”
