The Event

Saturday 19th July 2008, Palm Cove will again reverberate to the sound of Music as the Band of the 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment performs in Palm Cove.  This has become an institution in the Far North since the event started in 2006 when it raised much needed funds for the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation for urgent equipment required in the maternity section of the Cairns Base Hospital and in 2007 the money raised was donated to the Returned Services League (RSL) for much needed Facilities in the local WARHAVEN home.  The past years events attracted crowds of in excess of 1000 people, growing rapidly each year.  This year the event is going to bigger and better than ever and will raise much needed money for Bravehearts.   Once again Bands on the Beach will generate a lot of interest in Cairns and Palm Cove, show casing your company as part of a major annual event.

AND this year joined by the veteran Australian band Boom Crash Opera!

The Charity

When you consider that One in Five Children will be sexually molseted, it makes you feel sick!   Bravehearts is a move in the right direction to ensure those numbers drastically decrease in our community. Bravehearts aim to forge a ‘movement for change’ to provide survivors with a voice. Advocating for both healing and preventative strategies, Bravehearts provide comprehensive counselling for child and adult survivors of child sexual assault, and is actively involved in education, prevention, early intervention and research programs.
