KIRSTY Pattern of Malu Os handed a $100 cheque to Noosa Coast Guard commander Alan Hall to say thank you for their support of the Rainbow River Festival held.
The Coast Guard accompanied the colourful boats as they made their way along Noosa River as part of the post-Mardi Gras celebrations.
The Rainbow River Festival was held on Sunday 20 March.
The Coast Guard is a volunteer-run organisation that relies on donations by community members and groups to stay afloat.
