There will also be raffles, three big auctions and a silent auction.

Top prizes include three luxury holidays.

The dress code is ‘black and white’ with best dressed and best hat for both male and females judged on the day.

All money raised will go straight towards Zonta Club of the Whitsundays’ projects which include giving scholarships and bursaries to local students, supporting the Women’s Refuge and engaging with global campaigns.
