Whitsunday Dancing CEOs Upcoming Events
Masquerade Gala Ball
If you're looking for a great night out that will also support women and children in need, join Team Whitsundays Dancing CEOs at their Masquerade Gala Ball on Saturday, March 15.
Hosted by the Shute Harbour Marine Terminal, and with transport taken care of by Whitsunday Transit, this is going to be a wonderful night complete with dinner, dancing and wholehearted giving.
Proceeds from ticket sales and auctions on the night are going directly to Women's Legal Service Queensland, providing life-saving, life-changing services to families impacted by all forms of domestic violence.
Tickets cost $250 and are available via www.mygivingtable.com.au/event-details/masquerade-gala-ball
Epic Walk for DV
Join Team Whitsundays Dancing CEOs at the Epic Walk for DV on Sunday, March 30, 6am for a 7.30am start.
This is going to be a fantastic all-of-community event, hosted by the Coral Sea Marina, raising vital funds and awareness for Women’s Legal Service Queensland.
The walk is just a 5km stroll around the Whitsunday Regional Council Bicentennial Boardwalk and back - so ‘Epic’ in name rather than nature, and suitable for all fitness levels. Your small sign-up fee ($24 adults, kids walk free) covers registration costs, a free event day breakfast and water, live entertainment and games, and a special purple t-shirt to wear on the day.
The aim is to create a sea of purple, taking a stand against domestic violence in our communities and supporting the life-saving, life-changing work of WLSQ.
Bring your whole family (dogs included!) and sign up either individually or as a team with friends at https://www.epicwalkfordv.com.au/
