Noosa was filled with generosity on Thursday 24 October as Reed & Co. Estate Agents hosted the annual Primavera All’Italiano Ladies Luncheon at Locale Noosa.
This luncheon, dedicated to supporting Santa’s Classy Helpers, was a tremendous success, raising an impressive $25,775 for disadvantaged families in the community this Christmas.
Santa’s Classy Helpers are a not for profit, local organisation that works tirelessly to ensure that families referred by organisations such as The Salvation Army, Sunny Kids, DOC’s and many others experience the joy they deserve during the festive season.
All proceeds from the event, totaling $25,775, contribute directly to this heart-warming endeavour, bringing comfort and cheer to those in need.
Santa’s Classy Helpers’ key initiative is to provide families in need with a full trolley of groceries, essential clothing, essential homewares such as towels or pillows, and children’s gifts just before Christmas. If you would like to join the army of volunteers who set up The J in Noosa Junction on Monday 2 December, or volunteer to facilitate the shopping experience on Tuesday 3 December, please contact the team at Santa’s Classy Helpers who work so tirelessly to ensure a joyful Christmas for all.
“We’re truly overwhelmed by the incredible support from both the community and local businesses for this annual Ladies event,” said Adrian Reed, founder and director of Reed & Co. Estate Agents.
“The success of the luncheon is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we unite for a common cause. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, Santa’s Classy Helpers will make a lasting difference for disadvantaged families in our community this Christmas.”
Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as 137 elegantly dressed ladies revelled in the joy of giving, whilst indulging in delicious Italian cuisine and celebrating Locale’s fresh spring menu.
Monique Sommer and Kate Cox of Reed & Co. Estate Agents opened the luncheon by welcoming guests and setting the tone for the day ahead. The highlight of the day was listening to Lorraine Kenway of Classy Lady Noosa, who described the work that Santa’s Classy Helpers do year after year.
Lorraine explained the stories and situations disadvantaged families find themselves in at what should be a joyful time of the year for all.
The $25,775 raised will assist approximately 25 disadvantaged local families referred to Santa’s Classy Helpers by various organisations this Christmas time.
The lucky door prize and raffle, drawn just prior to serving the main course, added an extra layer of excitement to the day.
An array of fabulous prizes with a combined value of over the value of $8500 were generously donated by local businesses and individuals.
