The annual STEPS Grand Winter Ball is one of the most exciting events on the Sunshine Coast social calendar.
Every year supporters and sponsors of STEPS Charity gather to raise funds for people with a disability in an evening worthy of a Hollywood spectacular.
STEPS Charity Manager Angela Harrison said the event is the charity’s largest of the year, but for the upcoming 30-year Anniversary of STEPS, things are going to be raised a whole new level.
In 2019, the event has moved locations to the brand-new Sunshine Coast Convention Centre at the Novotel Twin Waters Resort, allowing it to cater to the demand of being able to hold more guests within a larger space.
This has opened up some exciting entertainment opportunities, but Ms Harrison insists she cannot say a word, without unveiling the surprises.
Ms Harrison said the event was one that many locals look forward to as they get the chance to dress up in their fanciest attire and spend the evening living like a star.
“I believe it is THE premier black-tie event of the Sunshine Coast,” she said.
“Everyone loves getting glammed up in their ball gowns and tuxedos because you don’t get to do that very often.
“It really is an incredible event where we pull out all stops to deliver the most amazing evening for the Sunshine Coast all while raising much needed funds.
The 2019 STEPS Charity Winter Ball held in partnership with BA Murphy Constructions will be held on July 27.
