Groundwater Country Music Festival (CMF) is making its annual return to the Gold Coast and this spring, fans of country music will get an opportunity to enjoy a boogie in the sun, while supporting one of Australia’s most respected charities.
Groundwater CMF has today announced a three-year partnership with Drought Angels, a charity run by big hearts that originated in rural Queensland for rural Australians.
CEO & Founder of Drought Angels Natasha Johnston said the charity is excited to be involved once again with Groundwater CMF, with the partnership helping raise funds to provide much needed care and relief to farmers and their communities across the nation.
“We have had a presence at Groundwater CMF since 2019 so to be named the Charity Partner for the next three years is very exciting,” said Ms Johnson.
“This partnership is crucial in helping us raise awareness of the struggles our primary producers face due to natural disasters including drought, floods, fires, and plagues.
“Our Aussie farmers are doing it tough, so all funds raised from Groundwater CMF will help primary producers throughout Australia.”
Major Events Gold Coast Director of Festivals and Events Mark Duckworth said the Groundwater CMF team was proud to be able to partner with and support the charity.
“Drought Angels does so much incredible work supporting our Australian farmers and their communities, and we couldn’t think of a charity better suited to GMCF,” said Mr Duckworth.
“Our festival is all about community and bringing people together through country music.”
In August, Groundwater CMF revealed its mega second lineup of esteemed international and homegrown country artists, who will be performing in Broadbeach from October 28 to 30 2022.
