Putting on the Ritz

The RFDS Darling Downs Auxiliary invites you to “Putting on the Ritz”! 

Inspired by the generous offer from one of Toowoomba’s many musical groups and an international pianist who is performing at this year's cocktail event, this year's theme is ‘Putting on the Ritz’

So, pull out your 'ritziest' and most glamorous cocktail outfit, and gather your friends and family to support the Royal Flying Doctor Service! 

With fantastic prizes from a live auction and a chance to win one of three fantastic raffles, we're excited to raise money in support of a wonderful cause. The funds raised from this year's event will go towards the ‘Wellbeing out West' program that runs from the Charleville and Longreach Bases.


Tickets will include complimentary drinks on arrival, canapes and live music.
