TEAM Whitsundays Dancing CEOs are hosting two major events during March.
Dancing CEOs is the flagship fundraising initiative of the Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ), which helps tens of thousands of women impacted by domestic violence, every year.
The first event is on Saturday, March 15, when ‘Team Whitsundays’ Dancing CEOs will host a Masquerade Gala Ball, at the Shute Harbour Marine Terminal.
And on Sunday, March 30, the entire community is invited to the ‘Epic Walk for DV’, starting from and returning to the Coral Sea Marina Gardens, Airlie Beach.
Both events are fundraisers for WLSQ, which provides lifesaving, 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,” Dr Harriott 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.
“Anyone familiar with the weekly ‘Park Run’ will already know the route but, for those who don’t, we’ll have plenty of ground support on the day,” Ms Purdie said.
“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.”
On event day, participants will be asked to register in the Marina Gardens at 6am for a 7.30am start, wearing the purple T-shirt supplied as part of the sign-up kit.
Breakfast, games and live entertainment will be supplied.
