Mayor’s Christmas Appeal

Each year, the Mayor's Christmas Appeal plays a vital role in helping ensure that everyone in our region can share in the joy and generosity of the festive season.

The Mayor’s Ball supports these efforts through fundraising opportunities on the night.

In 2025 the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal, with the support of major sponsor Auswide, raised more than $75,000, providing 930 hampers and 225 gift cards to families across our region - showcasing just how powerful the Bundaberg Region can be when rallying together to support local families in need.

Donate or become a sponsor today and together, we can ensure the Christmas spirit reaches every household across the Bundaberg Region.
