The Annual Kids+ Luncheon took place on grand final eve Friday 27 September at The Pier, Geelong.
Sunshine and blue skies brought out colour and style as 250 attendees flocked to raise funds for The Kids+ Foundation.
“This is our 12th annual luncheon and it was a fantastic day,” Kids+ marketing manager Sharon Gibbons said.
“A highlight was hearing Hannah and Josh Jenkins speak about their family’s journey from the arrival of premature twin girls to being linked in with Kids+ who continue to support them with a dedicated multi-disciplinary team every week.
“To share such a private story was incredibly generous and we know that it resonated with our audience from the positive feedback we have had.”
Entertainment included Gospel Sundays who serenaded the attendees, followed by dance-floor fillers Goods Faces 4 Radio. Roxie Bennett, a firm favourite amongst the crowd, was again MC.
Some fabulous raffle prizes were on offer including a weekend away at Apollo Bay and a signed Geelong Cats AFLW guernsey with eight game tickets and a guard of honour experience.
“We had a lot of delighted winners on the day, and our gratitude goes out to local sponsors and supporters including Ray White, Lara, Nat Anderson, local artist, The Australian International Air Show, Australian Skin, Face and Body, NDSP Plan Managers, and Coulter Legal,” Ms Gibbons said.
“Without their support, it wouldn’t be the much-loved event it has become.”
All funds raised will go towards Kids+ service provision in the region.
