Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice and service of those who have fought and fallen for our freedom.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
🌹 We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

BENEFICIARY SPOTLIGHT // Toowoomba’s Christmas Wonderland proudly supports the local charity, Toowoomba Hospice. 🎉

❤️ The Toowoomba Hospice is a community-based private healthcare facility. The free palliative care facility has been designed to provide patients with a family-friendly ‘home-like’ environment for terminally ill patients in their final life stages.

Last year, with help from our community, we raised $86,300! These donations make an incredible impact on the lives of those in need. 🤩

🎁 These funds were evenly distributed to our major beneficiaries, which included Toowoomba Hospital Foundation, Toowoomba Hospice and Lifeline Darling Downs & South West QLD Ltd, as well as community groups: SES Toowoomba, Darling Downs Girl Guides and the Toowoomba Historical Society Inc.

We can't wait to do it all again this year! 🎊
