Welcome to our community support and fundraising program
Now in its 16th year, the program provides support to our local and greater community by providing opportunity, support and prizes.

Not-for-profits; community groups / charities, schools and local sporting clubs are invited to apply for the provision of tickets to the 2023 Caloundra Music Festival for fundraising purposes or special experiences.
