The call is out to members of the Whitsunday community to put two dates in the diary for the month of March. First is Saturday, March 15, when ‘Team Whitsundays’ Dancing CEOs will host a Masquerade Gala Ball at the Shute Harbour Marine Terminal.
Following this, on Sunday, March 30, the entire community is invited to the ‘Epic Walk for DV’, looping about the Coral Sea Marina Gardens.
Both events are fundraisers for Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ), an organisation providing life-saving, life-changing support for women and children impacted by domestic violence.
‘Team Whitsundays’ Dancing CEO, Dr Alice Harriott, said the Masquerade Gala Ball was designed to be a night of glitz, glamour, and “wonderful, heartfelt giving”, blending dinner and dancing with auctions and action for an important cause.
“This is going to be a great night out for groups of friends, colleagues, couples and organisations from across the greater Whitsunday region, combining fun and elegant fashion with feel-good benefits from supporting people in need,” she said.
Guests will enjoy sumptuous seafood, a fabulous main meal, cheeseboards and delectable desserts, along with a fully stocked bar and live entertainment from four-piece band ‘The Mojo’.
Meanwhile, Coral Sea Marina CEO, Kate Purdie, said the Epic Walk for DV was designed to be “epic in name and impact, rather than in nature”, comprising simple loops around the Bicentennial Boardwalk and back.
“This is going to be a fun, family-oriented event, so bring the kids, the dogs, your friends and your workmates, and sign up to start your own fundraising journey – either as individuals or as your own teams that wider circles of friends and extended family can sponsor and support.”
Breakfast, games and live entertainment will be supplied. Advance online sign-ups are essential and can be completed at www.epicwalkfordv.com.au. For more information follow the ‘Team Whitsundays Dancing CEOs’ Facebook page.
