The Australian Street Aid Project, led by Mackay nurse Kayleigh Brewster, expressed profound gratitude for the opportunity to extend their reach through this charitable platform once more.
Their dedication to addressing homelessness aligns perfectly with the pressing needs of the local community.
A Milestone and a Mission
Meanwhile, the Grapevine Group, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024, sees this opportunity not just as a fundraising avenue but also as a chance to heighten awareness about suicide prevention.
Their commitment to training and building a network of individuals equipped to handle such crises emphasises the vital role the community plays in supporting mental health.

Behind the scenes, the event is bolstered by the unwavering support of sponsors like DGH Engineering, Fergus Builders, Daly Bay, and a lineup of Gold and Silver sponsors, each contributing to this philanthropic extravaganza.
Encouraging Mackay’s Involvement
With media partners and in-kind sponsors, the event is poised to capture Mackay’s attention and participation, encouraging everyone to “have a ball and make a difference“ at the 2024 Mayor’s Charity Ball.
