FOR Dr Alice Harriott, dentistry has always been a means of helping her fellow human beings and providing service to the Whitsunday community.
But Dr Harriott is no ordinary dentist.
She is also a ‘Dancing CEO’, raising money and awareness for Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ), in an effort to break the cycle of domestic violence across the state.
Dancing CEOs is WLSQ’s flagship fundraising initiative, through which 19 CEOs and business leaders – including ‘Team Whitsundays’ – will compete in a dance contest on May 31, 2025, at Brisbane City Hall.
Combining her roles as a dentist, fundraiser and now dancer, Dr Harriott has created two special raffle prizes, designed to transform both the winners’ and beneficiaries’ lives.
“For as little as $25 for one raffle ticket, you could win a dental care or comprehensive orthodontic package worth $9,000, provided by me at Whitsunday Family Dental Practice, or a comprehensive orthodontics package with my good friend and colleague, Dr Elizabeth Fisher, at Brisbane Orthodontics, valued at $10,000,” Dr Harriott said.
“These exclusive prizes cover everything you need for a perfect smile, including full orthodontic diagnosis and care, and even braces or aligners for the winner of the Whitsunday package receiving treatment with me.”
In a further gesture of generosity, Dr Harriott stressed that these prizes would be transferrable to other family members.
“Maybe you don’t need the work yourself but you might have a child who does, or even a good friend,” she said.
“Whoever you pick to receive this treatment, the end result will be the same – beautiful smiles for everyone involved, including the women and children that WLSQ will be able to help as a result of receiving your raffle ticket price.”
Tickets can be purchased online at https://pulse.ly/x3yk2qwyzp for the Whitsundays prize or https://www.raffletix.com.au/?ref=z354b&sref=xm8wtche for the Brisbane package, or alternatively by following the links in ‘Team Whitsundays Dancing CEOs’ Facebook posts.
All proceeds are donated to WLSQ through the Team Whitsundays Dancing CEOs campaign, led by Dr Alice Harriott (Whitsunday Family Dental), Kate Purdie (Coral Sea Marina), Candice Crossley (Whitsunday Transit) and Julie Telford (SeaLink Whitsundays, Red Cat Adventures and Whitsunday Jetski Tours).
The winners of the raffle will be announced at the Epic Walk for DV, at the Coral Sea Marina Gardens, on Sunday, March 30, 2025.
