The Tewantin Noosa Branch of the Australian Red Cross held a highly successful Fashion Show and fundraiser on Friday 11 October at the Laguna Estate Forum. In a celebration of Noosa’s cool, colourful fashions, over 100 locals enjoyed an entertaining morning, bubbles and lunch in glorious spring sunshine.
Coordinator Sue Anderson said “everyone came dressed for a fun, social morning out and certainly got that”.
In the recently-renovated Forum, Trudy Doyle introduced a wonderful selection of very wearable fashions from her local boutique “It’s All About Me” in Thomas Street, Noosaville. The models, clearly enjoying their moments in the spotlight, displayed them to perfection, much to the delight of the crowd.
Following the show, guests were treated to a wonderful light buffet lunch, catered for mostly by Branch members. Noosa Hospital kindly donated additional trays of delicious sandwiches.
Local businesses and sponsors from across the Tewantin Noosa community had donated generously to the always popular raffle and door prize draw. Guests were delighted to win a variety of vouchers, gifts and hampers. A donated print was ‘auctioned’ separately.
All the funds raised will go to the Red Cross Night Café in Brisbane offering a safe space and help to young people experiencing homelessness or social isolation.
The Branch acknowledges the generous contributions of the following businesses that made the event possible: It’s All About Me Boutique Noosaville, Signature on Hastings, local Restaurants & Cafes – Lucio’s Marina, Noosa Waterfront, Sum Yung Guys, Gusto’s, Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club, Rasa, Noosa Surf Life Saving Club, Tewantin Noosa RSL, The Sanctuary at Acres, Double Shot Noosa, also Intune Beauty Therapy, Coco / Indigo Noosa, Bunnings Noosaville, Noosa Hospital, Dan Murphy’s, Laguna Estate, Ari’s Italian Deli, The Baker’s Pantry, River Read and Zachary’s.

Branch members meet monthly and also volunteer their time in the local community visiting local residents at NoosaCare Carramar and partnering with Youturn, a not-for-profit organisation addressing youth homelessness.
