Last Sunday, 1st June, marked another unforgettable chapter in the history of one of Mackay’s most beloved annual events — the
Mackay Hospital Foundation Family Fun Day, proudly presented by
Gardian, our trusted local family-owned business serving the region for over 25 years.
Over three and a half thousand locals turned out to enjoy a day packed with fun, food, entertainment, and generosity — all in support of our vital public hospitals across the Mackay district.
💡 About the Event
Held at
BB Print Stadium, the
Family Fun Day brought together many Mackay families. With live entertainment, side-show rides, classic car displays, food trucks, market stalls, and much more, it was an affordable and inclusive day of fun for the whole family.
All proceeds from the event go directly to the
Mackay Hospital Foundation, supporting the greatest needs of the
public hospitals in the region including Proserpine, Sarina, Moranbah, Dysart, Clermont, Bowen, and Collinsville.
🏆 Gardian Prize Tent: Over $20,000 in Prizes!
One of the highlights of the day was the Gardian Prize Tent , where attendees had the chance to win over $20,000 worth of prizes simply by scanning a QR Code. There were also tickets for sale in raffles for more prizes. Local businesses generously donated items, showing strong support for the cause and our community.
As a local, family-owned company offering services in finance/home loans, financial planning, insurance, residential real estate sales, property management, and commercial sales and leasing , Gardian believes in giving back — and we showed it once again this year.
