On a perfect spring night under a full moon, the third annual Spirit of Peregian fundraiser took place under giant tipis in Peregian Park.
The event raises funds for the future re-building of the Peregian Surf Club and is run by residents’ association Peregian Family and Friends, which has campaigned since 2017 for the revival of the surf club.
President and event organiser Leigh McCready said: “Each year, on the closest Saturday to the day the Peregian fires started in 2019, we run a fundraiser which celebrates the strength of the Peregian community spirit which was on display so strongly that year.
“In 2022, our inspiring guest speakers Jordan Mercer and Richard Thompson shared with us their support and advice for achieving the community’s goal of building a new clubhouse one day – to make the seemingly impossible, possible.”
Among attendees to the gala event were Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, celebrity chef Adriano Zumbo and wife Nelly and the MC was Hot 91 Breakfast Host Sam Coward. The 2023 event is scheduled for Saturday 9 September.
