Mackay Hospital Foundation is known for its fundraising events with a difference and we can guarantee, Dancing With Heart is certainly one of those.
On Friday 21st March, ten Mackay identities will take to the stage to perform a dance routine which has been choreographed by Dolly Louw of Fame Talent School.
As part of the fundraising event, each contestant is asked to raise $5,000 in support of our local hospitals, but they are also stepping way outside their comfort zones to perform in front of a crowd.
This year, the contestants vying for the coveted mirror ball trophy are Dave Peters (Triple M), Jason Barrett (Get Turfed), Jean-Claude Arruo (Daly Bay), Keava Brennan (Gardian Property Management), Kerry Maley (Mackay Hospital and Health Service Board), Nicole Batzloff (Laffos Bar & Pizzeria), Nikita and Dan Kinnane (ReMax Select), Stacey Brownsey (Helloworld) and Usadee Phiraphak (Revolution Electrical).
A judging panel will select a champion who will be awarded the mirror ball trophy, an award will also be presented to the highest fundraiser and guests will have the opportunity to select the “People’s Choice” award.
Mackay Hospital Foundation is the dedicated fundraising organisation for public hospitals in the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday Regions. While Queensland Health covers the cost of patient care, there’s a substantial amount of funding still required to purchase medical equipment and implement projects which do not fall within the Queensland Health budget parameters.
