Mayor Keith Campbell says more than $40,000 was raised to support the Red Earth Community Foundation at his recent charity ball.<\/p>\n

The Mayor told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> he was very pleased with the result.<\/p>\n

Although the final figures were still being counted, the total would be more than $40,000.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Town Hall was packed with 350 guests on June 8 for the glittering event, which also featured an auction and raffles.<\/p>\n

The Red Earth Community Foundation runs annual leadership programs in the South Burnett as well as ongoing skills-building workshops for program alumni and other community members.<\/p>\n

The program aims to nurture future community leaders.<\/p>\n

The course is run in conjunction with Vision 21 and includes two residential modules held at the Bunya Mountains.<\/p>\n

It is designed to give participants an insight into leadership styles and personality types as well as building personal and business networks to help strengthen the viability and sustainability of local communities.<\/p>\n

More than 100 people have gone through the program since it began in 2014.<\/p>\n
