The 2nd Annual AGIS & Broken Ballerina Inc (BBI) Charity Golf Day, held on Friday, August 1, saw pink tutus, feather boas, and plenty of golf action despite wet weather on the green as players teed off to raise both funds and awareness for domestic violence victim survivors in the Mackay and Whitsundays.
The event, hosted at Mackay Golf Club, drew strong community participation and friendly competition.
A representative from Broken Ballerina Inc said, “We are proud to announce that after expenses we have raised $35,000 for local DV Victim Survivors in the Mackay and Whitsundays thanks to all who supported and attended the 2nd Annual BBI & AGIS Charity Golf Day held last Friday.
“These funds raised go towards Escape Bags, support with accommodation and other vital items that Victim Survivors need.”
“A big thank you to all of our sponsors, as without your support, the event would not go ahead. We thank Jon Byrnes and all his staff at AGIS for his unwavering support of BBI… We couldn’t do it without you.”
“All the players from every team, thank you. We are truly grateful for your commitment and support on the day with buying raffle tickets, being very proactive with the BBI enforcer fines, and bidding on our Auction items. We love you all and look forward to hosting you again next year.
“Thank you also to everyone who donated towards our raffle prizes to help raise funds. We had $10,000 in prizes which is wonderful and we thank you all.”
The next fundraiser is the Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Beautiful Charity Ball on Saturday, October 18, featuring a Shania Twain tribute band with a country twist. Tickets and sponsorships are now on sale at www.brokenballerina-inc.com.au
