Mayor Collins has chosen not one, but two incredible local charities for the Ball to support this year, with proceeds of the event going to BMA CQ Rescue and the Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network.

BMA CQ Rescue is a community funded service that has been providing a critical, lifesaving service to visitors and residents across the Whitsunday Region for over 27 years.

Meanwhile, the Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN) works tirelessly to provide support, education and intervention to prevent suicide and offer hope to those struggling with mental health issues.

Mayor Collins has also expressed his gratitude to platinum sponsors and event partners Hillery Group, Abbot Point Operations and Airlie Beach Hotel for their support.

"Without the generosity and support of our sponsors, this event to raise valuable funds for our two charities would not have been possible,” he said.

"The sponsors commitment to our community and willingness to support this cause have made a real difference."

"We are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated partners who share our vision of making our Whitsundays a better place for everyone.”
