The good times – and heart-warming tales – flowed as the Coast’s biggest hearts gathered to toast an incredible year for the fund, helping those in need

GOLD COAST COMMUNITY FUND BREAKFAST QT Resort, Surfers Paradise

THERE was barely a dry eye in the house at the Gold Coast Community Fund breakfast. The withering wit of chairman Rutland Smith aside, the tears were a result of the heartfelt stories detailing the fund’s activities throughout the year and the special presentations to deserving families. Our local fund has raised a staggering $2 million in the past two years, almost of all of which will go towards assisting many of the 3000 requests received. The Gold Coast once again proving it has an amazing capacity for giving.
