This year’s “Dinner With The Captains” raised an incredible $51,871.24 for Relay For Life.<\/p>\n

The dinner, held in a packed Kingaroy Town Hall in July, featured short talks by rugby league great Wally Lewis, former Olympic hockey captain Nikki Hudson, and former Test cricketer Ian Chappell.<\/p>\n

Guests also enjoyed a three-course meal and multi-prize raffle, and bid on a range of sporting memorabilia in a live auction.<\/p>\n

The dinner’s major sponsor was the Meandu Mine (Stanwell and Downer), and organiser Carl Rackemann made sure last week that their contribution was not overlooked.<\/p>\n

Carl presented representatives from the companies with a framed photograph of their staff members with the three guest speakers.<\/p>\n

Overall, the 2016 Kingaroy \/ South Burnett Relay For Life has so far raised an incredible\u00a0$175,468.61, more than $55,000 above the goal.<\/p>\n
