“The Sky’s The Limit” at this year’s Police Charity Ball which will be held at Kingaroy Town Hall on May 21.
Local police and the Kingaroy Rotary Club will be repeating their 2014 joint effort which raised more than $30,000 for charity.
This time around, all profits will be given to the RACQ CareFlight Helicopter rescue service.
Sergeant Wayne Bushell, one of the main organisers, said the night would kick off about 6:00pm and run “until late”.
Entertainment will be provided by the Redtie Band.
Tickets are $100pp or $900 for a table of ten.
They will go on sale at the Kingaroy Police Station (the old Artie Kerr Building) in Kingaroy Street on March 1.
A three-course meal will be prepared by Eddie McGregor, from the Burke and Wills Motel, and Wayne Bushell – the two chefs who catered for the last very successful evening.
There will be auctions and raffles on the night.
Amongst the items to be auctioned will be a five-course degustation dinner, with matching wines, prepared by Eddie and Wayne.
Also donated are items from Triple Eight Race Engineering (the V8 Supercars team that includes drivers Jamie Whincup, Craig Lowndes and Shane Van Gisbergen).
Other sponsors that have come on board so far to support the dinner include Stanwell, Swickers, Bryant (the company building the new Kingaroy Police Station), the Burke & Wills Motel, Loot Homewares Kingaroy, B & L Signs, Wickham Freight Lines, the South Burnett Times and South Burnett Online.
Anyone interested in contributing items for the auction or raffle, should contact Sgt Bushell at the Kingaroy Police Station or Kingaroy Rotary president Val Hooper.
