A few tickets remain for a vibrant French-themed charity event cocktail party, which is due to be held at Whisper Gin Bar later this month.
All proceeds will go to raising money for the Arthur Wina Memorial Hospital in Nalolo, Zambia for much needed nursing quarters.
Local charity worker volunteer Sandy Clark has worked with thousands of people in Australia and Zambia to raise money to build this hospital for vulnerable birthing mothers.
“Our fundraising started way back in 2015 when I visited the extremely poverty-stricken area which at the time had no roads, no running water and no power,” she shared.
“Since fundraising started with my charity Dignity Zambia in 2015 the first stage of the hospital was opened by the first President of Zambia, Dr Kenneth Kaunda, and then in 2020 and 2021 we raised more money for extra buildings for patient beds and bathrooms with the support of locals in the Whitsundays.
“We are now planning to complete stage three with nursing and visiting doctors’ quarters which will enable us to bring in visiting overseas medical volunteer doctors.”
Tickets to the local charity event where you can helps raise funds for this important cause are $95 each and available from Airlie Events.
Your ticket includes a cocktail on arrival, and French canapes served during the festivities.
Much celebrated performer, Georgia Darcy, will entertain the audience with a Piaf style cabaret act all in French and is coming up from Melbourne especially for the event.
Wayne Singleton, CEO of Sotherby’s, will conduct an auction with some great items up for grabs including a valuable Aboriginal dot painting donated by Geoff Canard from Shingley Beach Resort, top Penfolds Wines and much more.
