Gather & Graze 2026: Great Food, Incredible Prizes and a Lasting Impact

A fresh new fundraising experience is coming to the Mackay region in 2026, as My Hospital Foundation launches its inaugural Gather & Graze event. Proudly presented by Jayden Enterprises, the exclusive cocktail-style evening will take place on Saturday 19 September 2026 at Note Park Grazing Co. in Homebush, bringing together great food, entertainment and passionate community supporters, all while raising vital funds for local healthcare initiatives.

‍

Set amongst stunning rural surrounds, Gather & Graze offers guests an exclusive experience that celebrates the very best of regional hospitality. The event will feature a premium canapé-style dining experience curated by the talented team from Sinful Kitchen, renowned for delivering fresh, creative and beautifully presented cuisine. Guests can look forward to an evening of gourmet flavours, quality local produce and impeccable service, complemented by beer, wine and basic spirits.

‍

Beyond the food, Gather & Graze promises an unforgettable night of entertainment and fundraising. Live music will set the tone for the evening, while guests can participate in live and silent auctions, raffles, lucky envelopes and a range of exciting prize draws.

‍

Among the standout prizes already generating excitement are a Harry Styles concert package for two, a luxurious 7-Day Oasis Health Retreat in Bali, exclusive professional photography packages, and a signed 2025 Queensland State of Origin jersey. With many more premium experiences and prizes on offer, there will be plenty of opportunities for guests to take home something special while supporting a worthy cause.

Adding to the excitement, My Hospital Foundation is thrilled to welcome Tyler Littlewood as the live auctioneer for Gather & Graze 2026. A respected stock and station agent, helicopter pilot and passionate advocate for rural Queensland, Tyler is well known for his leadership, community involvement and strong connection to the agricultural industry. His infectious energy, extensive auction experience and engaging style are guaranteed to keep the crowd entertained and the bidding competitive throughout the evening.

‍

While Gather & Graze is expected to a fantastic social experience, its purpose extends far beyond an enjoyable night out. Funds raised help My Hospital Foundation provide vital hospital equipment, patient support programs and healthcare initiatives that directly benefit patients and families across Mackay, Isaac, Whitsunday and surrounding communities. Every ticket purchased, auction bid placed and raffle entered contributes to improving healthcare outcomes for local people when they need it most.

‍

Whether you're entertaining clients, celebrating with friends or simply wanting to give back to your community, Gather & Graze 2026 offers a unique opportunity to enjoy an exceptional evening while making a meaningful difference. With demand expected to be high, early bookings are encouraged for what promises to be one of the region's premier fundraising events of the year.
