THE FIRE BALL SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL

The Queensland Fire and Emergency Service

(QFES) South Eastern Region occupies the area to the south and south-east to the New South Wales border, immediate west and north-west of Brisbane to the Great Dividing Range.

Gold Coast City is the sixth largest city in Australia with a current population in excess of 540,000 residents (not including the high numbers of tourists and visitors to the city estimated at approximately 10 million annually).

The annual Gold Coast firefighters charity ball – THE HARCOURTS FOUNDATION FIRE BALL – raises community awareness of what firefighters do for their community, and is fast becoming one of the major events on the Gold Coast social calendar.

Firefighters respond to emergencies every day. With lights and sirens blaring, the QFES could be responding to a house fire, a fire at a business or a car accident, and sometimes injuries and loss of life are involved. Firefighters witness these losses and the subsequent trauma experienced by families when a loved one perishes in these tragic circumstances.

As a way of giving back to the community, the Gold Coast branch of the QFES stages an annual charity ball. The proceeds of The Fire Ball will assist one of the local firefighters in need of help. In addition, 50% of net proceeds will be donated to Make-A-Wish® Australia.

Make-A-Wish® Australia grants wishes to children and young people with life-threatening medical conditions. Wishes give hope, strength and joy and have a remarkably positive effect on a child’s mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

With a healing power beyond medicine alone, Make-A-Wish® Australia wishes are an essential complement to a child’s medical treatment. Thanks to generous community support since 1985, over 7,000 life-changing wishes have been granted in Australia.

The Gold Coast branch of the QFES also produces an annual ‘Firefighters Calendar’, with income from its sales supporting the Royal Children’s Hospital, Brisbane.

THE HARCOURTS FOUNDATION FIRE BALL 2014

Proudly Supported By:

Gabriel and CeciliaFirefighters Calender QLD Ciaran Gribbin

Ciaran Gribbin is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter, producer, and

composer who hails from Castledawson, Northern Ireland. He is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter who has worked with artists including Snow Patrol, Madonna, Paul Oakenfold and Paul McCartney, and written and produced soundtracks for numerous feature films.

In 2009, while supporting Paolo Nutini on his Australian tour under the name of Joe Echo, Ciaran met INXS keyboardist and songwriter Andrew Farriss in Sydney. Over the next 12 months, Andrew and Ciaran became friends and in May 2011 they got together for a songwriting session.

The members of INXS were impressed with Ciaran’s vocal and songwriting ability and asked him to audition for lead vocalist of the band. In November 2011, Ciaran performed his first show with INXS in Arequpipa in front of 7,000 people and two nights later performed in front of 30,000 people, headlining Personal Festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Ciaran has performed more than 50 shows as the INXS front man. Two of the songs he wrote with Andrew Farris have been released by INXS – Tiny Summer and We are United which was performed in Canberra at the Australia Day celebrations in January 2012 in front of a television audience of one million people.

Gabriel and Cecilia Brandolini as seen on The Voice are two

wonderful young and inspired singer songwriters with a wealth of musical talent who have rocketed to ‘hottest duo in Australia’ status after their recent appearances on The Voice. This creative and original brother and sister from Northern NSW first picked up instruments around 6 or 7 years of age are now proficient in a colourful array of instruments, including Piano, Bass, Ukulele, Guitar and Viola.

Their original album ‘Dirt on our Shoes’ which reached number 9 in the national iTunes album charts and number 3 on Singer/Songwriter charts is just the start for these two.

ENTERTAINMENT

The Queensland Firefighters Calendar was established in

1993 and presently raises funds for the Children’s Hospital Foundation and for the Firefighters Games Team through the sale of calendars depicting firefighters.

During the past 22 years, in excess of $850,000 has been raised through this medium and donated to support the Children’s Burns Unit and the children needing the services of that unit. Last year 700 children were admitted to the Burn’s Unit with severe injuries, and 50% of the children came from regional Queensland.
