Shades of Women, an annual gala event organised by Kickass Women, brought together attendees from across the Mackay Region last week in a powerful display of support and solidarity.
Supported by Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal, the annual event serves as a fundraising initiative to support women and children affected by domestic violence in the Mackay and Whitsunday Region. The funds raised will go directly towards supporting Mackay Women's Services, a vital organisation offering assistance and resources to those in need.
Jo Sainsbury, the visionary founder of Kickass Women, expressed her gratitude to everyone involved in making the event a success. Sainsbury emphasised the importance of women coming together to uplift one another, fostering a sense of connection and unity that transcends societal boundaries.
"When we empower and support one another, we create a ripple effect that touches the lives of not only women but also men and children," Sainsbury stated. "By replacing competition with collaboration, we can elevate society as a whole and initiate a positive chain of events that our world desperately needs.
“My heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed and supported this event.”
