Local Noosa palliative care facility Katie Rose Cottage Hospice has launched tickets to a new event, Noosa Gather and Graze on the Green.
Head of fundraising and partnerships and spokesperson Leigh McCready said Katie Rose Cottage Hospice is a community operated palliative care facility, right here in Noosa.
“It is unique in Australia, as we are primarily funded by the community, rather than by the State Government (which only contributes 14 per cent of our operational expenses) or church organisations,” she said.
“Each year, we run two large events which have the joint aims of improving education and awareness about the work we do in the community along with raising money.
“In the first half of the year we run a Gala, and next month we will be hosting our first ever Noosa Gather and Graze on the Green, to be held in the fields at Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club.
“Our event has been primarily supported by Angela Whitbread, social impact investor, philanthropist and a former managing director and chair of her family business.
“In a new event concept, guests dress in white and come with their friends to enjoy a picnic under a marquee surrounded by tall, old-growth trees, listen to music from our DJ and band and order gourmet hampers to be ready at their tables when they arrive.
“Hampers are being supplied by Peregian Pantry and Adriano Zumbo’s new Zumbo Test patisserie and will be chilled and ready when guests arrive, along with any pre-ordered drinks.
“Sunshine and Sons have generously donated a drink on arrival for every guest and will also provide a bar on the day.
“Tickets to Gather and Graze are available through the website or our Facebook page. It’s going to be a beautiful day for a wonderful, local cause,” Ms McCready said.
“We would also like to invite those individuals or business who would like to be involved in supporting the hospice’s important work, either for the upcoming event or in other ways, to contact us via our website katierosecottage.org.au.”
