Peter FitzSimons headlines 2019 Mayoral Ball

Iconic Australian author, media commentator and former representative rugby union player Peter FitzSimons AM is a special guest at this year’s Mayoral Ball on Saturday 17 August.
The white-tie event is being held at the new Sunshine Coast Convention Centre at Novotel Twin Waters.
There, Peter FitzSimons AM will share behind-the-scenes stories of the many people behind his 34 published books.
The Mayoral Ball, in aid of SunnyKids, has become one of the most iconic charitable fund-raising events on the Sunshine Coast.
A total of $250,000 has been raised over the past three Mayoral Ball events.
Sunnykids Founder and CEO Chris Turner said he was excited to be part of one of the first major events held at the new convention centre – and to see Peter in action.
“Peter has very kindly donated his fee from this event to The Footpath Library, a charity which provides books to people who don’t have access to good-quality reading material,” Chris said.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson said the Mayoral Ball continues to be an outstanding opportunity for people to come together, enjoy great company and entertainment and support a number of worthwhile community endeavours.
“The Mayoral Ball is all about looking good, feeling good and doing good,” Mayor Jamieson said.
“To have Peter FitzSimons sharing his stories and insights, will make the evening all the more memorable.
