So I went looking for a list of what charity events are on in Queensland this year, more specifically the frock-up-for-your-favourite-cause type charity Balls and couldnt fine one. So I decided to write my own.

So dust off your penguin suit or fabulous frock, grab some friends, book your tickets and make a difference!  Read through the list to find out how you can win your very own  Personal Planner.

In chronological order…please leave me the details a comment below if I have missed any, and I will happily add it to the list!  I suspect this list will grow over the next couple of months, so please check back throughout the year…
