Ronald McDonald House Charity Ball 2026

Published on 10 August 2026

What a wonderful evening we had on Saturday night at the Ronald McDonald House Charity Ball!

Council would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came along, dressed up, danced, laughed, bid, donated and helped make the evening such a great success.

We are incredibly proud to announce that $27,000 was raised on the night for Ronald McDonald House Charities!

This incredible result simply would not have been possible without the generosity of our amazing sponsors and the wonderful businesses and community members who donated prizes for the Cent Sale. Your support and generosity made a real difference, and we are so grateful.

A very special thank you also goes to: Wayne Reeves, Auctioneer Extraordinaire, for keeping the bids coming and the crowd entertained!

The Gulf Girls Bar Attendants, who kept everyone hydrated, even when the power went out!

Normanton State School students, for their fantastic concierge duties and for welcoming and assisting our guests throughout the evening.

And, of course, to everyone who attended your support, generosity and willingness to get behind such a wonderful cause made the night truly special.

$27,000 raised, one fantastic community and an unforgettable evening!

Keep an eye on the Council website and Facebook page for photos from the night coming soon.

Thank you, Normanton and the wider Gulf community, for once again showing just how generous and supportive our community can be!
