Locale Noosa was bathed in the spirit of giving last Thursday 12 October for the inaugural Primavera All’Italiano Ladies Luncheon, hosted by the ladies of Reed and Co. Estate Agents.
This luncheon, dedicated to supporting Santa’s Classy Helpers, was a tremendous success, raising an impressive $11,580 for disadvantaged local families in need this Christmas time.
Santa’s Classy Helpers is a not for profit, local organisation that works tirelessly to ensure that families referred by organisations like The Salvation Army, Sunny Kids, DOC’s and others experience the joy they deserve during the festive season.
All proceeds from the event, totalling $11,580, contribute directly to this heart-warming endeavour, bringing comfort and cheer to those who truly deserve it.
One of Santa’s Classy Helpers key initiatives involves providing families in need with a full trolley of groceries, essential clothing, essential homewares such as towels or pillows, and treats just before Christmas.
If you would like to join the army of volunteers who set up The J in Noosa Junction on Monday 4 December, or assist with providing a trolley of groceries, clothing and treats for local disadvantaged families on Tuesday 5 December, please contact the team at Santa’s Classy Helpers who work so tirelessly to ensure a joyful Christmas for all.
Founder and director of Reed and Co. Estate Agents Adrian Reed said, “We are thrilled by the outpouring of support from our community and local businesses for this inaugural Ladies event.”
“The success of the event reaffirms the incredible capacity for good that exists when we come together with a shared purpose.
“Santa’s Classy Helpers will be able to make a profound impact on the lives of disadvantaged families in our community, thanks to the generosity of all involved.”
Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as 130 beautifully dressed ladies revelled in the joy of giving, whilst indulging in delicious Italian cuisine and celebrating Locale’s fresh spring menu.
Monique Sommer and Kate Cox of Reed and Co. Estate Agents opened the luncheon by welcoming guests and setting the tone for the day ahead. The highlight of the day was listening to Lorraine Kenway of Classy Lady Noosa, who described the work that Santa’s Classy Helpers do year after year.
Lorraine explained the stories and situations disadvantaged families find themselves in at what should be a joyful time of the year for all.
The $11,580 raised will assist approximately 12 disadvantaged local families referred to Santa’s Classy Helpers by various organisations this Christmas time.
The lucky door prize and raffle, drawn just prior to serving the main course, added an extra layer of excitement to the day.
An array of fabulous prizes were generously donated by local businesses and individuals.
The ladies of Santa’s Classy Helpers and Reed and Co. Estate Agents are profoundly grateful for the generosity of these local businesses and individuals, as their contributions helped make the event the success it was.
They would also like to express their sincere appreciation to Amanda and Rio of Locale Noosa for their invaluable support, not only for this event but for their ongoing contribution to the Noosa community.
