The amazing volunteers from Mossman Hospital Friends of the Foundation will be there with sweeps, raffles and horse auctions with all proceeds going to improve health services at the Mossman Hospital. $10 from every ticket will also be donated to the charity.
“Community is at the heart of Sheraton Grand Mirage and we are thrilled to partner with local charities like Mossman Hospital Friends of the Foundation which engages with community events that bring people together,” shared Steve Molnar, General Manager of Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas.
In addition to backing the winning steed at this year’s event, you can also win an array of prizes including a two night stay in a Spa Studio Room at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Gold Coast, one night stay at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas, Sailaway Outer Reef tour for two, Daintree River Cruise Centre Family tour for 2 adults and 3 children, $100 Casa Mia Homewares voucher, and much more!
Friends of the Foundation are community volunteers that support the non-profit charitable organisation, Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation. Since its inception in 1997, the organisation has contributed more than $23 million to improving health care in the Far North. All its administrative costs are paid through commercial operations, meaning every dollar donated or contributed through fundraising goes towards its intended purpose.
