Brighter Christmas for local families

Noosa turned out in style and spirit as Reed & Co. Estate Agents hosted the annual Primavera All’Italiana Ladies Luncheon at Locale Noosa on Thursday 16 October.

The sell-out afternoon gathered 143 guests and raised an impressive $34,000 to support Santa’s Classy Helpers, helping bring the joy of Christmas to local families doing it tough this year.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the continued generosity of our community and local businesses,” said Adrian Reed, Founder and Director of Reed & Co. Estate Agents. “Each year, this luncheon reminds us how powerful it is when people come together with kindness and purpose. The funds raised will directly help Santa’s Classy Helpers spread hope and joy to families who need it most this Christmas.”

Santa’s Classy Helpers partners with community organisations including The Salvation Army, SunnyKids and the Department of Communities to deliver a full trolley of groceries, everyday essentials and festive treats to local families in need.

“The generosity from Reed & Co. as well as the ladies that attended this event will bring joy, relief and a sense of belonging to local families who might otherwise go without,” said Lorraine Kenway of Santa’s Classy Helpers.

Guests were welcomed by Monique Sommer and Kate Cox of Reed & Co. Estate Agents, then treated to an ENOUGH beverages spritz followed by Locale Noosa’s fresh spring menu and a heartfelt address from Santa’s Classy Helpers, who shared the difficult realities many families face at what should be the most joyful time of the year.

Adding to the excitement, a lucky door prize and raffle, drawn just prior to the main course, featured a range of fabulous prizes with a combined value exceeding $9,500, generously donated by local businesses and individuals.

Reed & Co. Estate Agents and the volunteer team behind Santa’s Classy Helpers extend sincere thanks to everyone who attended, donated and contributed prizes. Special appreciation goes to Amanda and Rio and the entire Locale Noosa team for their ongoing support of the Noosa community.
