The 2023 Post Cards from Palm Springs themed Celebrate for a Cause Manly event raised $46,400 for our major charity partner Rosies and $11,600 to our minor charity party Bayside Community Fund to provide long-term investment and community grants in the Bayside. 

The event was held at the Manly Harbour Boat Club (MHBC) and was a stunningly styled recreation of mid-century Palm Springs on Manly’s waterfront. The event included live big band entertainment and roaming performers, California cool inspired food Marketta, premium beverages, a whisky bar, 19th Hole Golf Challenge, Oasis Touch Up Lounge, raffles and auctions to suit the theme ‘Post cards from Palm Springs’, pulling inspiration from the old Hollywood era.

CFC’s founding and platinum sponsor Sorrentino Property worked closely with the CFC team to create an incredibly elevated guest experience with the aptly named Sorrentino Property Mirage Experience.  The Mirage Experience offered guests a lux styled waterfront reserved seating lounge with a stunning grazing board and welcome drink on arrival, personal food and premium Vueve Cliquot champagne and liquor package with concierge service, private bar, plus priority access to the dance floor, Rat Pack Whisky Bar, 19th Hole Golf Experience and Oasis Touch Up bar.
