Boost Fundraising and Events director Alia Ryan said everyone in Rotorua had some connection to QE.
"Whenever I mention that I am working with QE Health to celebrate their 75th, I get comments like, 'oh my mum used to work there' or 'I had treatment for my back at QE'."
"It's so lovely to hear these stories and really motivates me to help ensure QE can continue to improve lives through its amazing services."
Miss Ryan said the night was set to be "so much fun".
"There will be some fundraising to help support QE into a new building, but mostly this event is about sharing stories, dressing up, enjoying good food, drinks and company."

In 1942, the Services Convalescent Hospital opened providing rehabilitation to soldiers returning from World War II.
A daily programme of therapy included exercise, counselling, recreation, occupational and physiotherapy plus balneotherapy or spa treatments.
All spa treatments were at The Bathhouse in what is now the Rotorua Museum - developed as the Spa of the South Pacific by Dr Arthur Stanley Wohlmann in the early 1900s.
When The Bathhouse closed in the 1960s, spa treatment continued in a new wing known as Queen Elizabeth Hospital, specialising in treatment of rheumatic disease.
QE Health continues today as a treatment centre for people with all forms of arthritis and chronic pain.
Plans are under way for a new building for QE Health.
