All the ducks were lined up in a row to see who would be the first one to the finish line. It was a great community day and event organised by the Rotary club of Burleigh Heads and helped by many other community organisations and supporters. These included the very enthusiastic Kokoda Youth Challenge kids herding the ducks, Currumbin RSL hosting the event outside its premises, local councillors, and everyone that sponsored a duck. The funds went to the amazing work some of the local organisations do to support victims of domestic violence. A great way to connect with your community is through events like these and clubs like Rotary.

The Surfers Paradise Surf Life Saving Club has been around for 100 years and celebrated in style. The annual fundraising lunch featured special guest Olympian Alexandra Clarke, Bianca Dye as emcee, and a fashion show hosted by Debbie Miller featuring the latest fashion from C Water Classics, and Barr Body Swim.

The spring social calendar was kicked off in style with a vibrant and colourful celebration of community and fashion set amongst the beautiful surroundings of the JW Marriott Resort and Spa in Surfers Paradise. ​ The lunch raised $10,700 for charity going to the Gold Coast Community Fund, while being treated to live entertainment and fashion by Sonia Stradiotto Couture. These events are made possible through the help of generous sponsors like Heart Surgery Gold Coast, Gold Coast Panache Magazine, and 5th Avenue Jewellers.
