The COA charity dinner and concert will be held on Saturday, August 12 at Mollymook Beach Bowling Club.
A three-course meal, along with top range wines will be served.
Musicians Kent Eastwood and Sam Buckingham are set to entertain the crowd.
Sam’s father Paul Buckingham from Mollymook said his Byron Bay-based daughter is looking forward to performing at the concert.
“Sam has always offered to support local events, and cancer has touched our family so it was a no brainer for her,” Paul said.
“She always loves giving to the community when she can.”
Sam, a Triple J unearthed artist, has been a singer/songwriter for 10 years and has played alongside Katie Noonan, Washington and Lior, and graced stages at many music festivals.
“We’ve only got a few tickets left so anyone who would like a ticket needs to get in soon.
