More than 150 guests gathered in Peregian Park last Saturday for the Spirit of Peregian fundraiser for two local charities – Katie Rose Cottage Hospice and Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club.
About $35,000 was raised, which will be divided evenly between the two charities.
The three course gourmet meal was provided by local favourites Periwinkle Restaurant, Alba Noosa and Peregian Pantry.
Event organiser Leigh McCready said: “It was perfect weather for our fourth annual Spirit of Peregian event on the anniversary of the 2019 Peregian fires. Our MC and guest speakers had the guests enthralled and the auction prizes, including a chauffeur-driven return transfer to dinner in a 1974 restored Range Rover were highly sought-after. Peregian family and friends can’t wait to host the event again in 2024.
