Under the theme, Hollywood Through the Ages, Ronald McDonald House will invite guests to don their finest threads for a night of dinner, drinks, entertainment and fundraising.
Guests will enjoy a Hollywood opening act performed by Colour City Dance Studios, a four-course meal, auctions, raffles and a night of dancing with entertainment by The Romans.
With $85,000 raised in 2018, the Ronald McDonald House ball is the biggest fundraiser on the accommodation facility's calendar.
Ronald McDonald House CEO Rebecca Walsh said the entire team couldn't be happier with the annual support of the community which allows them to keep the doors of the house open.
"I'm looking forward to seeing our donors and our sponsors and trying all the amazing food which we know will be served up by our amazing celebrity chefs," she said.
In the kitchen this year will be Darren Tracey from The Sugar Mill and Choox, Daniel Hughes from Manta Restaurant in Woolloomooloo, Mick Apps from TAFE NSW Orange, Jamie Stewart from Café Connect, Shannon and Karly Weathered from the Pickle and Fig and Wendie Sparks from the First 19th Royal NSW Regiment.
There will be wines from Bunnamagoo Wines, Heifer Station, Philip Shaw Wines and Angullong Wines, as well as beer, cider and soft drink from Coca Cola and the Australian Beer Co.
Wine lovers will have the chance to take home one of two premium wines worth up to $250, by participating in a competition which everyone wins a wine.
Attendees are asked to dress in black tie or as their favourite Hollywood star, with an award for the best dressed male and female.
For $30 per person attendees can indulge in the Tony Leahey Jaguar and Landrover Lux Lounge or the entire table can pay for their own private concierge, with champagne, a gin tasting station and a special Jaguar gift.
The Ronald McDonald House annual ball will take place on September 14 with doors opening at the Orange Function Centre at 6pm.
Tickets are available by calling the house on 6363 1960 or Rebecca Walsh on 0418 681 352.
