It’s time to dress up, gather your girlfriends, and celebrate women in style while giving back to women right here on the Sunshine Coast.
WomenKind Australia Inc. is thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for its highly anticipated International Women’s Day (IWD) Long Lunch on Friday 6 March, featuring guest speaker Jacqui Bell — ultra- marathon runner and mental health ambassador — proudly sponsored by Aloha Active Noosa.
A 29-year-old ultra runner from Brisbane, Jacqui made history at just 26 as the youngest person ever to run an ultra-marathon on all seven continents, conquering more than 1,000 kilometres across some of the world’s harshest deserts and terrain — from the scorching sands of Africa to the frozen extremes of Antarctica.
As the youngest female to complete Racing the Planet’s Four Desert Grand Slam and the youngest person to achieve an ultra-marathon on every continent, Jacqui’s journey is a powerful testament to perseverance, mindset, and personal responsibility. Her story of confronting fear and overcoming adversity is nothing short of extraordinary.
Guests will begin the afternoon with a glass of bubbles and elegant canapés on the lawn, followed by a divine two-course lunch with beverages included at the stunning Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar, overlooking the Noosa River.
The celebration continues into sunset with live music from all-female powerhouse trio The Kitty Kats, sponsored by Platinum Tax, delivering a vibrant mix of cabaret, swing, blues, and rockabilly. Expect an afternoon filled with dancing, laughter, singing — and perhaps even a tear or two.
The ever stylish and effervescent Carlie Wacker will serve as MC for the event, which will also feature auctions, raffles, and door prizes to help raise vital funds supporting local women and families in need.
