Wishlist Spring Carnival

Since 2009 the annual Wishlist Spring Carnival gala  has grown in reputation, quality and wow factor to become known as the Sunshine Coast social event of the year. It combines a winning formula of elegance and glamour, a fabulous three-course menu, first-class celebrity entertainment and amazing auction prizes to raise significant funds for Wishlist.

With hosts inlcuding Natalie Barr, Mark Beretta and Samantha Armytage, celebrity guests such as former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins who attended the 2010 event and a stellar entertainment line-up which included singer Damien Leith and Justice Crew in 2011and Mahalia Barnes in 2012, the Wishlist Spring Carnival Gala is a top-notch event with a few surprises always in store.

This year's event is scheduled for Friday, 20 September, at the Palmer Coolum Resort. Watch this space and make sure you "Like" us on Facebook to get firsthand updates and announement of special celebrity guests as they become available.

Wishlist would also like to acknowledge the hard working and dedicated Spring Carnival Committee responsible for raising more than $400,000 since the inaugural Wishlist Spring Carnival Gala in 2009. The event committee is comprised of volunteers who are among the Sunshine Coast’s most successful businesspeople, and we are lucky to have their support.

The funds raised have gone a long way towards initiiatives supporting local juvenile diabetes patients, a four bay paediatric ward in the Nambour Hospital Emergency Department, 5 years of SCkoping camps for children living in families affected by mental illness, drugs or alcohol and equipment to streamline the diagnosis of prostate cancer on the Sunshine Coast.

This extremely successful event can not happen without our volunteer organising committee, sponsors, table ambassadors, auction prize donors, guests attending the event and the celebrity entertainers who add the clinching wow factor.
