The Proserpine Entertainment Centre hosted the elegant and colourful 2024 Mayor’s Charity Ball over the weekend.
Over 200 people attended the evening, and it was a night of delicious food, generous fundraising and merriment.
Mayor Ry Collins selected two charities this year, BMA CQ Rescue and Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN), two charities that do important life-saving work in our region.
Over $60,000 was raised for these great charities through ticket sales, raffles, and an auction.
It was a spectacular event.

Mayor Ry Collins’ first Mayor’s Charity Ball was a high-class evening, with a touch of sparkle.
This year the event had two options, the Gala Experience, complete with a three-course meal and charity auction.
This was followed with the After Dark Experience which started at 8pm and guests could dance the night away in front of the amazing 1RAR band and DJ Cue.
