Gold Coast Fundraising Ball at RACV Royal Pines Resort, Benowa

The Gold Coast Fundraising Ball held its 21st black tie gala in 22 years last Saturday night at RACV Royal Pines Resort, Benowa. While the counting is still being done, the total amount raised for local charities over that time from the ball and golf day is close to $3m. This year the theme was country and western with music, hay bales and even a mechanical bull ride for the adventurous. Over 800 charitable souls attended with the money raised to be distributed between Bravehearts, Gold Coast Community Fund, Guide Dogs, Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation and Men of Business. Big congrats to Beric Lynton, head of the organising committee, and his dedicated team.
