This Week Mayor Ry Collins presented his two chosen charities with cheques following a successful 2024 Mayor’s Ball where an impressive $66,000 was raised on the night.
Equal donations were given to the two nominated charities; Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN) and BMA CQ Rescue.
Mayor Ry Collins said that this incredible figure was testament to that support of the local community.
Mayor Ry Collins also thanked platinum sponsors of the event, Abbot Point Operations, Airlie Beach Hotel, and Hillery Group.
“To all sponsors, attendees who paid for their ticket on the night. Donors and supporters of any form, a really a big thank you from myself and the team,” said Mayor Ry Collins.
“Your generosity has truly made a difference in supporting our local charities, supporting critical emergency relief and also supporting mental health and suicide awareness.”
