Tickets are on sale now for the second annual Broken Ballerina Charity Ball which is due to be held at the Northern Beaches Bowls Club next weekend.
Dedicated to raising money and awareness for domestic violence, this colourful and vibrant event, with a serious overtone, will be hosted by Jay and Dave from Triple M.
With an eighties theme, guests are invited to dress up in anything from cocktail outfits to fancy dress.
“You can wear anything you like – back in the eighties anything went,” said organiser Jules Thompson.
The Broken Ballerina Charity started back in 2019 when a $50 Woolworths voucher was bought for a family escaping domestic violence and since then the charity have been helping countless people across the Mackay region.
“Every week, every day we are helping someone in some way,” said Jules.
“We don’t receive government support so we rely solely on hard work and people’s support.”
All the money raised from the charity ball will go directly to local projects that actively help families living in this area.
From purchasing plane tickets to help a family escape a situation of domestic violence to giving them a visa card so they can buy basic groceries or purchasing gifts to make Christmas feel special – Broken Ballerina are at the forefront of helping families through traumatic times with a kind heart.
The Charity Ball will be a lot of fun with an eighties themed DJ playing your favourite tracks.
Nibbles and a two-course meal will also be served, plus a charity auction with some great prizes to be won.
While the mood is lively, the greater message is both vital and important.
Two women who survived domestic violence will be speaking on the night, sharing their story in order to raise awareness and open the conversation about the reality of abuse.
Tickets are selling fast, so get in quick to show your support.
