Legends Night has seen great success over the years with important funds raised for those in need
The Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN) will be bringing back it’s highly regarded Legends Night and this time it will hit the shores of beautiful Bowen.
The community are encouraged to gear up for an unforgettable black-tie evening of inspiring stories as handpicked ‘Guest Legends’ take to the stage to share their story. This year features the wonderfully talented Michael Kimpton and McQuility ‘Coco’ Qurikewith music from Zed Charles to fill out the night.
The event will take place at 360 On the Hill with further details via info@wspn.org.au.
The Legends Night has seen immense success in the past, facilitating unforgettable nights of connection, resilience and community spirit. It is a meaningful occasion, lending an opportunity for community heroes to share powerful stories around mental health and suicide prevention.
“WSPN’s goal is to raise vital funds to continue the work within the community and raise awareness that we exist and are here to help,” said WSPN President Matt Stokes.
“A massive thank you to Jen Lowcock from Lowcock Builders who has been the driving force behind planning this years’ Legends night. Which I am sure will be the best one yet!”
Guest speaker Michael Kimpton expressed his gratitude and excitement for the event.
“The Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network led by Matt Stokes and his team are remarkable. Their work in awareness and prevention of suicide and support for the community is so vital,” he said.
Michael’s talk on the night will centre around the theme ‘My Journey’ – as he will reflect on important life changing experiences that he needed to overcome.
“The first was a horrific motorcycle accident that left me compromised and the other was meltdown following my retirement. We can recover physically but we also need to cope with our mental resilience to ensure our wellbeing.”
Legends Night promises to be a wonderful evening of great conversation and joy.
