Blokes on parade in bid for funds

THERE was plenty of wooing, blushing and cheering as ladies from across the coast joined some of our hottest local male celebrities at this year’s Mix FM’s Give Me 5 For Kids (GM5FK) Ladies Luncheon.
Held at Sheraton Noosa Resort and Spa this morning, the event saw the likes of Mark Darin, Todd Widdicombe, Lincoln Lewis, Chris Flannery, Matt Filippi, Peter Kuruvita, Brennon Dowrick, Matt Adamson, Stephen Priestly and Richie Geron strut their stuff and get raffled off in the name of charity.
Masterchef’s talented Ashleigh Bareham was also there to support the event.
Mix FM’s GM5FK appeal sees an array of fund-raising throughout the month of June for the needs of local paediatric patients. To date, more than $30 million has been raised for invaluable medical equipment and to provide support for families with sick children.
This is the ninth year the luncheon has been held in Noosa and MIX F’s GM5FK co-ordinator Krystal Moore wished to thank all those getting behind the local fundraising initiative.
“We have once again received an overwhelming amount of support for this year’s event, which was completely sold out,” Krystal said.
“Each year it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
“Most of the people in this room are parents and I think everyone wants to support sick children in their local community when they can, and that certainly reflects here today.”
While attendees recover from a fantastic afternoon of bubbly, good food and even better company, organisers are already preparing for next year where another impressive selection of celebrities are set to appear.
