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.
Orthodontics Prizes up for Grabs
Help Dr Alice Harriott raise money for Women's Legal Service Queensland and be in the running to win a $9,000 dental package with Whitsunday Family Dental at the same time!
There is also a $10,000 Orthodontics package up for grabs through Alice's colleague, Dr Elizabeth Fisher, at Brisbane Orthodontics.
Raffle tickets cost just $25, but be quick - the winners will be drawn at the Team Whitsundays Epic Walk on Sunday, March 30.
Tickets can be purchased at:
