A recently formed not-for-profit group, South Burnett FlightSavers Inc, has some big fundraising plans in the pipeline for 2027.<\/p>\n

The group was officially launched at a function at the Kingaroy RSL Club on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

FlightSavers will now be the official group organising the popular “Dinner Under The Stars”, which will be held next year at the Kingaroy and District Vintage Machinery Club grounds on March 6.<\/p>\n

A new event for 2027 will be “Beyond The Runway” at The Old Hangar function centre at ‘Bethany’ on May 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both will be fundraisers for the LifeFlight Foundation.<\/p>\n

Although the FlightSavers group is new, the faces on the committee will be very familiar to Dinner Under The Stars attendees.<\/p>\n

President is Eric Ford, vice-president is Ross Bean, secretary is Janelle Reeves and Susan Robertson is treasurer.<\/p>\n
