Noosa locals Gather and Graze on the green

On a sparkling Spring day at the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club, locals enjoyed the second annual Gather and Graze on the Green event in support of Katie Rose Cottage Hospice, Noosa’s community hospice.

Head of Fundraising and MC Leigh McCready said, “This year we raised around $20,000 for the fit out of the extension of our hospice, allowing us to look after two additional guests.“

“Our guest speaker Sara Leonardi McGrath spoke with heart about the support given to her family when she was caring for her father-in-law.

“Guests bid furiously on online auction items and the scooter raffle was hugely popular, with the eventual winner donating the scooter back to Katie Rose Cottage.

“Thank you to all our supporters who attended the event, those who gave generously and to all our sponsors and prize donors. We could not fund our community hospice without you.”
