Our 2023 Mayoral Ball is such an important event for SunnyKids. Each year we aim to not only raise much needed funds for SunnyKids but to also raise awareness of the devastating impacts domestic and family violence has on children and their families.
Our biggest highlight this year was seeing so many new faces in the room.
At the heart of SunnyKids is an unwavering commitment to broaden our reach and educate our community, in an effort to help as many children as we can. We know that the impacts of domestic and family violence are long lasting and ripple through families and communities.
We are pleased to say our raffle and auction on the night raised just under $50,000 and we couldn’t be more grateful to every person in that room.
All money raised will go towards our SunnyKids programs that directly help children and families on the Sunshine Coast who have been impacted by domestic and family violence. We are so extremely grateful for the generosity of those who attended on the night.
